Thanks to everyone that responded. I’ve solved the problem. We had 4 10Gbs network interfaces aggregated together using LACP. Running some tests trying to send data to a Windows client we found the problem is not just Bacula. Even ftp failed if the file size was bigger than about 1300 bytes.
Turns out FreeBSD has some issues with more than 2 interfaces in a LAGG. We disconnected two and everything works using 2 10Gbs interfaces. > On 18Feb 2018, at 10:20 AM, Tilman Schmidt <til...@imap.cc> wrote: > > [resent since the list server seems to work again now] > > Am 14.02.2018 um 03:00 schrieb Kenneth Garges: >> >>> On 10Feb 2018, at 1:29 PM, Tilman Schmidt <til...@imap.cc> wrote: >>> >>> Any chance of checking on the firewall what's happening with the connection? >> >> Looking at the firewall rules show it will pass anything on ports 9101-9103 >> between the hosts.
