Hi all,

I have recently upgraded to Bacula 7.0.5 on my old backup server, which seems 
to have worked fine. However, I am now trying to figure out how to interpret 
rather detailed status messages produced by various "status" command. One 
particular puzzling thing is the following Storage status line:

*status sd

xxxx-sd Version: 7.0.5 (28 July 2014) i686-pc-linux-gnu ubuntu 8.04
Daemon started 12-Sep-14 01:21. Jobs: run=2, running=2.

<...>

Running Jobs:
Writing: Full Backup job XXXX JobId=52618 Volume="LF0033"
    pool="LargeFull" device="Drive-1" (/dev/nst1)
    spooling=0 despooling=1 despool_wait=0
    Files=292,872 Bytes=63,980,083,815 AveBytes/sec=0 LastBytes/sec=0
    FDReadSeqNo=3,388,503 in_msg=2576431 out_msg=9 fd=19

The strange part is that the "AveBytes/sec" and "LastBytes/sec" values are 
always zero while at the same both Files and Bytes counters keep incrementing. 
The job seems to be busy despooling and making progress but the speed-o-meter 
readings are not reflecting this.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,
Ivan
