Re: [Bacula-users] Device is BLOCKED - renamed Bugged or not?

2015-04-24 Thread Kern Sibbald
In my last email, I did forget to mention that as you point out, the problem can also result from a design issue. And the resolution of those problems from design issues fall into my point 2. If we have a good test case that shows the problem, even if it results from a design decision, most of th

Your analysis(es) of the situation sounds correct to me. The big problems for developers are: 1. Race conditions such as you mention are difficult to reproduce. If we have a script that will reproduce it every time or nearly every time, it is relatively easy though sometimes a lot of work to fi

With current versions of Bacula, you are limited to a single Job running on Windows machines with VSS enabled. If VSS is disabled, you can run multiple simultaneous Windows backups. Best regards, Kern On 22.04.2015 11:11, Oli

I guess it is semantics, but I was just pointing out that it was not a coding issue, but rather a design issue/choice. You can divide the jobs into different pools and then give jobs in the same pools different priorities. The pools allow multiple jobs (from different pools) to run concurrently

To avoid hijacking the question and to address whether it's a bug or not: Why it's a bug - request for media that is unavailable because it is already in use whether for a backup or recovery by a new backup job is a bug when other perfectly good media is available. One should not need to create s

This is a known bug that has been reported, but still exists. The job wants the tape in use by another job that is using it in drive 0. Your options are: 1. Let it wait until the job(s) using the tape in drive 0 finishes. The pitfall here is if the tape becomes full. 2. Cancel the job(s

Hi Ana Its a possibility although the estimate doesn't seem to factor in compression (not an issue for me) or the volume overhead. I guess we could always allocate one extra volume to cover this and then at the end remove any unused volumes. I tried post processing (renaming the file and cat
