I believe that bacula does not work anymore with curlftpfs (version 0.9.2).
I have found several reports which describe a similar behavior.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curlftpfs/+bug/367091
http://sourceforge.net/projects/curlftpfs/forums/forum/542750/topic/3295831
Finally I "found" the release notes of curlftpfs 0.9.2:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=602461
"Be aware that some applications might not be able to "save" files on
curlftpfs from 0.9.2 on, because we don't support open(read+write) or
open(write) and seek anymore."
I have written a small program to test this functionality. You can use
it to verify your environment.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
//FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/test","w+b");
//works fine (without curlftpfs)
//FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","a+b");
//create flags: 0x442 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000
//ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported
//FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","a+");
//create flags: 0x442 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000
//ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported
//FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","w+");
//create flags: 0x242 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000
//ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported
FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","w+b");
//create flags: 0x242 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000
//ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported
fprintf(stdout, "I try to open file\n");
if(fp==NULL)
{
fprintf(stdout,"Error: can't open file.\n");
return 1;
}
else {
char str[40];
int i;
strcpy(str,"somecharacters");
printf("File opened successfully. Writing....\n\n");
for (i=0;i<8;i++) {
fputc(str[i],fp);
}
}
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}
I would recommend that the documentation of bacula should mention this
incompatibility.
Using a ftp service you have to find an alternative (which one?)
