Re: [Bacula-users] Deadlock error

Tonight, I disabled accurate on all hosts and the deadlocks did not happen.  No errors were detected and all the backups finished successfully. Some questions... 1.  Can I back up multiple hosts concurrently with some hosts configured to use accurate and some configured not to use accurate?  Or, is it an all or none thing, meaning all hosts that run concurrently must either be using accurate backup or not using accurate backup (cannot mix the two)? 2. It seems like the hosts that get out of the starting gate first are the ones affected.  I am configured to run 50 jobs concurrently.  Again, no problems with accurate turned off on all hosts for months now. 3. Why is Bacula spinning off a new job right away after it detects the deadlock for each affected job instead of waiting until the rescheduled job runs?  I verified that there were no duplicate jobs in the queue before the backups started running, no jobs were running before the start of the backups, and I did not start any of these backups manually to cause a second job to appear. Bacula is not aware of any SQL internal deadlocks.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Anyway, does anyone have an idea what would cause this, especially how the second job got shot into the system.  After the deadlock error, Bacula said it would reschedule the job.  However the second job started right after the deadlock error instead of one hour later which makes me think that there were two jobs for this host scheduled to run at 18:00.
