Bill:

Thanks for getting back so quickly. In my original (non spool file inclusion) i get:

tcp    0    0 0.0.0.0:9103 0.0.0.0:*        LISTEN        10177/bacula-sd

Including the spool file directive I get nothing. In all conf files I list the host name as slcakware.polinsky.home


In Slackware, software is stored at

/var/bacula

That directory is owned by root:root. All subsidiary directories, plugins, scripts, and working are bacula:bacula. (As I mentioned all those directories are on the second sdb disc. I have attached sda1 to /bacula. that parent direcotry is owned by root:root. the /bacula/working directory is owned by bacula:bacula.

For right now I am sticking with the original configuration.

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.

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
