I've been running Bacula 9.6.7 for many years with an attached LTO3 tape drive. The machine hosting Bacula is an old Dell Optiplex. Though I am always in Slackware, there is a small 250 gig drive that had Windows 10 installed on it, even though It was never booted in that operating system. With the prospective of Microsoft abandoning Windows 10, I decided to reformat that disc as ext4 and attached it to /bacula. The directive in /etc/fstab is /dev/sda1 /bacula ext4 defaults 0 0.I created a directory under that called working and changed ownership to bacula:bacula. In the bacula-sd.conf file I added: Spool Directory /bacula/working I have changed no other directives in the two remaining conf files. I get the following error Fatal error: bsockcore.c:208 Un able to connect to Storage daemon on slackware151.polinsky.home:9103. ERR=Connection refused The added disc is sda, Slackware is on sdb. What do I have to additionally change to allow the spool file to use sda? Thank you. Alan
Hello Alan, This looks to me like the SD is not starting/running on `slackware151.polinsky.home` On that system what does this show: # netstat -tlpn | grep 9103 I suspect a missing permission, or wrong ownership further up the /opt/bacula tree... You can test the SD in debug and foreground mode: # sudo -u bacula /opt/bacula/bin/bacula-sd -d100 -f (adjust the path to where bacula-sd lives on Slackware) ...And should quickly see what the reason is. Hope this helps, Bill -- Bill Arlofski w...@protonmail.com
