Re: [Bacula-users] Full backup fails after a few days with"Fatalerror: Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Interrupted systemcall"

[Marcus Hallberg]

Hi!

This is the errormessage that I got.

 26-Sep 17:15 neo-dir JobId 45532: Error: Watchdog sending kill after 518421 secs to thread stalled reading File daemon.

I broke the seconds down into days and it got to be: 6,000243056

I think that it would be to much of a coincidence that bacula has had a 6 day limit and something else kills it within 21 seconds of that limit.

I'm running 5.0.3 and don't see this 6-day limit for jobs and do not have max run time set in the config files.    Pretty much all of my full backup jobs run into the 15-30 day range due to the shear size of the backup and the constant pause/flushing of the spool.  

I would think you're running into a different problem (going through a firewall or some other device that is timing out connections for long-running tcp).

Bacula has a hardcoded time limit on jobs of 6 days. Kern called it an
"insanity check" as any job that runs that long isn't really something
you'd want ...

See
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20159.html
for a discussion on the mailing list from the past, and a pointer on
where to change the time limit in the code if you wish.

Last time this was asked on the list someone pointed to a possible
configuration option to override the hardcoded limit that should've been
added by now, but given the 0 responses to that I can't say if it
actually exists.

Regards,
Jeremy
