According to the Bacula Manual:
Max Wait Time = <time> The time specifies the maximum allowed
time that a job may block waiting for a resource (such as waiting
for a tape to be mounted, or waiting for the storage or file daemons
to perform their duties), counted from the when the job starts, (not
necessarily the same as when the job was scheduled).
So the unavailable machine, could block other jobs for 10 minutes. Why
did the other jobs time out as well ? They were not started yet, only
scheduled ?
If Max Wait Time is not what I am after, could you please point me in
the right direction ??
