Hello,

Thanks Heitor for your answer.  I have for some time promised an aligned plugin.  The current state of it is as follows:

1. As I previously wrote, I have submitted (in Bacula Systems name) a patent for this technology.  The patent is currently pending, which means it is valid, but not yet formally approved.

2. Until the patent is granted, I have been advised not to release the source code.

3. Consequently, Bacula Systems is helping me build binaries for Bacula community 9.0.x that have the aligned plugin binaries. These binaries are almost ready and will be released on the bacula.org web site.  Exactly when I cannot say, but it should not be more than another month.  Please do not hold your breath.  I think the last problem we are currently working on is getting the debian packages properly signed.  Also, I must finish the installation documentation.

4. At some point when the patent status is final, we will release the source code.

5. Note: in order to use the aligned plugin you must use the new community binaries that correspond to the same version.  These binaries will be released on bacula.org.  The plugin is linked against the Bacula core code so must be linked with the SD that it is going to work with.

Best regards,

Kern

Hi,

For Testing, i install a server with bacula Community 9.0.4 ( Git ) / Postgresql under CentOs 7.4

All works, but my goal is testing dedup.

I Put a ZFS Filesystem after ( step by step ...)

How to obtain the aligned-sd.so to define the plugin directory in SD ?

A err msg :

Thanks.
