Hello,

We've been intermittently having an issue with backups failing due to the error 
"Spool block too big". It's happened exactly 10 times since 4/27/09. It 
generally happens during large backups (900GB+).

The most recent error happened after the data had been spooled, and was being 
written to tape. These usually occur overnight so I don't always get to see 
what's going on, but this one happened during my normal shift. Prior to it 
happening I had noticed that the SD status showed the correct data spool file 
size, but showed 0 bytes for the attribute spool size. I double checked the 
directory we use to store the attribute spool file (same directory where the 
mail files are kept, but different from where we spool the data), and there was 
a 6GB+ attribute spool file for the job.

Not sure if this is what other people are seeing when this error occurs, but 
I'm hoping it can help in tracking down the source.

We're running Bacula 2.4.4 using PostGreSQL 7.4.19.
