Hi,

I thought I'd just put in a note that we have just done a successful
upgrade to bacula 3.0 for a bacula system running 7 storage daemons
with a total of ~70 TB data (all disk based, no tapes). Everything is
running smoothly so far.
The catalog in use is a mysql db totaling approximatly 110 GB. We did
however skip the FileId -> BIGINT db update as we had to do that
manually quite a while ago due to hitting the old limit in the
catalog.

Also, the upgrade seems to have fixed a problem we have been seeing
recently where certain windows clients were dropping the connection to
the sd's during backup after a random amount of time.
We were seeing repeated errors like:
Error: ../../lib/bnet.c:439 Write error sending 12580 bytes to Storage
daemon:x.x.x.x:9103: ERR=Input/output error
Fatal error: append.c:259 Network error on data channel.
ERR=Connection reset by peer
Error: bsock.c:444 Read error from client:x.x.x.x:36643:
ERR=Connection reset by peer

The errors happened after random amounts of data, but was very
repeatable for certain clients.
tcpdump's of the errors showed the sd simply refusing to respond to
the clients followed by an RST of the connection. Other simultaneous
connections to the sd continued working without error.
The clients are still running 2.x so they have not yet been upgraded.
So, if anyone else is encountering similar problems, 3.0 seems to have
solved it for us.

A big thank you to all the developers that helped put together the 3.0 release.
