Good morning.
I'm just wondering if "Automatic Mount = yes" is still working as expected?
My SD conf, upgraded from the old 1.36 to match the new autochanger:

Not only am I not an ACL expert either, neither am I adequately
knowledgeable about SELinux. So, I'm really hoping Frank can explain xattrs
in the context of backup.

Thanks, Frank. I'm building a new Internet-facing network, and the only

As is documented, when Bacula backs up a hard link it makes sure the
linked-to file is only backed up once, and generates warning messages on all
links to the same file after the first one. On full backups of most Linux
systems this can produce a flood of messages. One way to avoid this is turn

Just use Bind and DHCP together. Then you can use simple domain names.

Hi
Is it possible to backup a machine with a DHCP ip#?
If not, how big a change is needed to get it supported? 100 line patch or a
