Package: bacula-sd Version: 1.38.11-8 Severity: normal Hi,
(first, I'm not sure whether this is the right package to submit against; feel free to reassign if necessary). When a bacula tape becomes inconsistent with what bacula has recorded about that particular tape, for any reason (e.g., when there was an error writing to the database because the disk filled, or when the director crashed when a backup job was in progress), then bacula will mark the tape as being 'in error'. This makes it impossible to distinguish between such a case and a case of a /real/ tape error. It would probably be best to create a new state, 'Inconsistent' or some such, to be assigned to tapes of which the data as stored in the database does not correspond to the data as found on the tape itself. This would make it easier for a system administrator to figure out what the correct course of action is when a failure occurs (e.g., manually recycle the tape, or throw it away in case of a /real/ error). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: arm (armv5tel) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-iop32x Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages bacula-sd depends on: ii bacula-common 1.38.11-8 Network backup, recovery and verif ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4etch1 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii mtx 1.2.17rel-2 controls tape autochangers ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python2.4 2.4.4-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages bacula-sd recommends: ii bacula-sd-pgsql [bacula-sd-to 1.38.11-8 Network backup, recovery and verif pn mt-st <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
