Hi all,

I just installed Bacula 5.0.2 on a FreeBSD 8.1 system with about 24TB of disk 
space with the intention of doing my backups straight to disk.  The storage 
array is configured using ZFS, and I've configured Bacula to make backups to 
/bacula/FileStorage.

My question is this: the other day, I re-started the bacula-dir service in the 
middle of a backup, and it seems to have corrupted the FileStorage file.  This 
wasn't a big deal during testing as I could just whack the existing file and 
create a new one, but it got me wondering about the resiliency of FileStorage 
devices during a backup server crash.

Is there anything special I should do to make FileStorage devices more robust?

Also, is it a good idea to label a separate volume for each backup job?
