[Bacula-users] question about FD Connect Timeout

Hi,

I am using Bacula 3.0.2(all components) on Ubuntu 9.04 to backup several 
clients. A few of these are Windows XP laptop clients which may get booted up 
for a short period, then the lid closed after the user has done some simple 
things like checking email, etc. Closing the lid will put the laptop in 
hibernate mode.

My problem is when this happens after the job is started but before it is 
finished, it seems to "hang" in running mode. Example:
*s dir
...
Running Jobs:
Console connected at 31-Aug-09 08:17
Console connected at 31-Aug-09 08:18
Console connected at 31-Aug-09 11:06
 JobId Level   Name                       Status
======================================================================
   242 Increme  win-v2-backup.2009-08-31_09.00.00_05 is waiting on max Storage 
jobs
   244 Increme  tlap-backup.2009-08-31_09.00.00_07 is running
   245 Increme  n610c-backup.2009-08-31_09.00.00_08 is waiting on max Storage 
jobs

...

*llist jobid=244
...
       SchedTime: 2009-08-31 09:00:00
       StartTime: 2009-08-31 10:02:41
         EndTime: 0000-00-00 00:00:00
...

I have the following settings in my dir.conf file
director
  FD Connect Timeout = 20 mins

job
  Max Start Delay = 43200
  Reschedule On Error = yes
  Reschedule Interval = 2 mins
  Reschedule Times = 36
 
My goal here is that if one job is unable to complete like this, then it would 
simply abort after 20 minutes allowing the next job to start running and the 
job that aborted would get rescheduled and perhaps catch the user online next 
time.

This works as expected as long as the job has not transitioned to the "running" 
state, ie as long as it is "waiting" then after 20 minutes it will abort and 
reschedule but after it starts running I'm not sure how long it will hang 
around.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike Chisholm
