Hello Marcin
Thanks very much for that explanation. I hadn’t realised this was essentially a
working directory for Baculum.
Having got the API and WEB set up, I’ve run into a strange error with WEB. If I
set up a very simple pool definition Baculum can save it correctly. As soon as
I add a ‘MaximumVolumeBytes = 10GB’, WEB crashes out with an error. Smaller
values such as 500M are OK.
Following some advice you once gave me about another error, I have enabled
logging in the API. The relevant extract is below.
The error appears to be that a parameter is being assigned an unsupported value
of type ‘double’. WEB is writing this value back to the config via the process
you described.
Is it possible to deduce from this output, the offending config file line?
