Hi Jeremy,
Since this sounds exactly like the root of the problem any chance of you spelling out to this humble newbie how I'd check and fix that please?

Hi Allesandro
Well ain't that something? I'd have put money on it being
something we did. In fact I can add to this - we have another
server, which was running the same bacula on F15, which we
upgraded using the "preupgrade" method, i.e. entirely via the
web and wizards. This went perfectly. It was this process
which went wrong on the second server, so we ended up doing
the upgrade via a DVD. Whilst from a Fed pov it now seems ok,
there is this bacula problem and pretty much that's the only
difference between these systems.
Its too important to mess with any longer. We're already a
week behind with our backups so I'm going to use the
workaround you suggested, thanks.

Hi - the upgrade wasn't without trouble - we had to preserve the bacula config,
do a clean installation and restore the config/cats etc. So its almost
definitely not a "bacula doesn't work with Fed15 problem" ;-)
What happens is if I restart the services I can see them running fine and the sd
is running as the user "bacula". If I try anything with touches the sd, say in
bconsole even a "status all", the display stops at the first "Connecting to
Storage daemon..." message. However, if I kill the sd process and run it from
root with "bacula-sd -f -v" in another console all is well. There's nothing in
any logs I can see. Whats gives please? Thanks.
Hi
I faced a very similar problem after upgrading from F14 to
F15
I had the SD hanging on every operation
I tracked it to a permission problem.
It seems to have some sort of trouble while dropping
privileges.
I "fixed" it editing the /etc/syscongif/bacula-sd file and
setting it like follows:
SD_USER=root
SD_GROUP=bacula
I don't like having the SD running as root so before doing
that I worked on permissions on the bacula SD storage area
(I'm using the File storage) with no luck.
Hope this points you in some useful direction.
You should really check which group owns the tape devices /dev/st0
and /dev/nst0 (or (n)st1 or higher if there's more than one drive).
I'll bet it is now owned by the group "tape" instead of the usual
group "disk" it was in the past.
If that's the case you can just run the SD as user bacula and group
tape :-)
Regards,
Jeremy
