That looks similar to some existing bacula bug reports: http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1568 http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1343 > The behavior is not consistent i.e. sometimes it continues on working > normally if a client can't be contacted but eventually it'll snag on one > and die.

I suggest you run the storage daemon under gdb and get a backtrace from the seg fault as described here: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/What_Do_When_Bacula.html#SECTION00640000000000000000 __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
