I am perfectly aware that mounting NFS via Wireguard VPN is out of

But I'd like to ask how to configure the Storage device in Bacula(ris)
to at least get rid of errors there, maybe.
As far as I understand Bacula-SD is able to trigger the mounting of a
filesystem before accessing the storage device.
Yes, if it is told to do so.
So I assume this relates to the "user" option of nfs filesystems in
fstab ?
Yes, but do you really want to do that? It allows ANY user to mount the
NFS share. It might be safer to use autofs, which can be configured to
set a specific uid:gid when automounted. In bacula-sd.conf, you would
just use /net/10.1.0.24/Volume1/BaculaBackup as the Archive Device. Then
the automount daemon would handle the mount and umount automatically.
My issue: I see loads of this in my logs:
nfs: server 10.1.0.24 not responding, still trying
Check the firewall on both sides. Maybe NFSv4 file locking daemon is
being blocked, etc.
and the mount hangs.
I fiddle with options, soft vs hard mount, timeouts, packet sizes etc
(didn't yet touch the wireguard site to site vpn because it works for
many other uses very well)
Right now I try:
## fstab
10.1.0.24:/volume1/BaculaBackup /mnt/nas_office nfs
defaults,user,noatime,rw,_netdev,timeo=100,user,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,tcp
0 0
It mounts, I have permissions.
In bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = "FileStorage_NAS_Office"
Description = "storage auf NAS in Office"
MediaType = "File1"
ArchiveDevice = "/mnt/nas_office"
RemovableMedia = no
RandomAccess = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
LabelMedia = yes
RequiresMount = no # maybe "yes" to actually mount it (again)
ReadOnly = no
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 5
SpoolDirectory = "/srv/bacula-spool"
MaximumSpoolSize = 16000000000
MaximumJobSpoolSize = 10000000000
}
Bacula is able to create volumes there, starts writing but hangs
somehow etc etc
Does anyone of you bacula-users do something similar, with success? ;-)
Any obvious mistakes in my config above?
The kernel also tells me:
INFO: task bacula-sd:2295 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
The nfs-mount seems to hang, this blocks the bacula-sd .. etc
Maybe nfs isn't the right protocol here.
Thanks for any pointers!
