Hello Dan,
I believe that this limit was removed few years ago (it is more
something like 200 days), but I don't think you can control it via a
directive. I would suggest to install a recent version of the
Director/SD to handle the situation.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Eric

Hello list,
I'am recent user in Bacula soft and very recent on this list.
I have to perform some large backups for archiving purposes (at least
4 volumes, each of them with ~50 TB).
With a rate of about 350 Mbit/s (limited by the network), each job
should be finished in 2 weeks.
I tried to run the first job, but after 6 days of running, it failled
with the error :
13-janv. 14:21 bacula-dir JobId 1156: Error: Watchdog sending kill
after 518411 secs to thread stalled reading File daemon.
13-janv. 14:21 bacula-dir JobId 1156: Fatal error: Network error
with FD during Backup: ERR=Appel système interrompu
13-janv. 14:21 bacula-sd JobId 1156: Elapsed time=143:53:03,
Transfer rate=41.99 M Bytes/second
13-janv. 14:21 bacula-dir JobId 1156: Error: Director's comm line
to SD dropped.
13-janv. 14:21 bacula-dir JobId 1156: Fatal error: No Job status
returned from FD.
13-janv. 14:21 bacula-dir JobId 1156: Error: Bacula bacula-dir
5.2.13 (19Jan13):
I saw in the Main Reference Guide v9.2.2 (corresponding to version of
the Bacula installed software) that "By default, the the watchdog
thread will kill any Job that has run more than 6 days" and that the
default 6 days could be specified by using in the job ressource
definition :
Max Run Time = <time> The time speci es the maximum allowed time
that a job may run
Therefore, I prescribed Max Run Time = 0, supposing that this will
mean no limit for job duration, but the same error occured.
Coud you please help me to know how is the correct manner to remove 6
days duration limit ?
1) is the value of Max Run Time the only modification to do ?
(some older threads in this forum indicates to make some modifications
in Bacula source code to remove 6 days duration, since this limit was
hardcoded in older versions)
2) I have to use Max Run Time or MaxRunTime for the name of this
variable ?
3) setting it to 0 is a correct way or I must to introduce some large
integer value (in seconds ?)
Thank you very much for your help !
Dan
