Re: [Bacula-users] Debian Wheezy: bacula-fd sticks on one file

Hello,

2013/11/12 Denny Fuchs <linuxmail AT 4lin DOT net>

hi,

I have one file:

On the fileserver:

root@FILES:~# LANG="C" stat /export/disc03/users1/foobar/.mozilla/firefox/9m9i53h9.default/formhistory.sqlite
File: `/export/disc03/users1/foobar/.mozilla/firefox/9m9i53h9.default/formhistory.sqlite'
Size: 4398046510080 Blocks: 40 IO Block: 4096 regular file

What is the size of this file? :)

4398046510080 ~= 4294967295kB ~= 4194304MB ~= 4096GB ~= 4TB

I think it is a big sparse file (blocks=40).

I don't know what happens with this file, but Bacula tries and tries to backup the file:

I do not see any problem here. Bacula tries to backup a 4TB file. I bet it requires some time to finish. :)

On Bacula server:

I have a lot of infinite traffic ... seems to be a loop and it fills up my storage.

No, it is not a loop. It think is a very big sparse file.

any suggestions?

You should enable sparse file handling in FileSet resource definition for this file. It should resolve (partially) your problem.

best regards
