I did fix this, and the files that are now in that directory have the correct owner:group, and were written by the SD (see OP). I am aware that this is what the errors are saying, but that does not explain how the files are still being created. > 4. Is /var/bacula/crownnest a network mount (this could explain the > failures). This is a file storage device configured in the SD on the same box as the Director. The directory itself is local to that box > 5.

This would explain the 2 hour run time. > 6. Try adding HeartBeatInterval = 300 to the Dir, FD, and SD.

Make sure the SD either has full permissions on all disk files or > runs as root. The SD runs as bacula:tape which is the default configuration from the RPM's and matches the old box. As you can see from the directory structure, this should be correct.

I have added this line to the Director, client and storage resources. I cannot see where else it wuold be needed. > 4. When you get it running think seriously about upgrading.

Is there a documented upgrade path? I believe the Centos 8 is imminent, and would prefer to stick to standard RPM's where possible _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
