Re: [Bacula-users] Fatal error: label.c:464 Truncate error on device

Hello List.

I followed the advice you gave and updated director and sd to the most current version to avoid this truncate error I reported before (see below).

Too sad, we do have the same issue again.

Do you have any more advice?

Thank you!

Stefan

Got the point.
I'll think about buying 2 more SATA HDs using software raid to store the precious Volumes on those.

That should work well.

Btw., using md, is there something wrong with using it in partnership with bacula?

What is md?

Ooops. My bad. I was using a short form for the device name linux is using for a software raid. They are called md0, md1, and so on. Again, thank you so much for all the valuable input you gave.

Have a nice weekend!

You wrote writing Volumes directly to a CIFS mount is not really a good idea for a number of reasons.

What do you recommend as best practice instead?

Write your Volumes to a natively mounted (not network mount) Linux filesystem.

Unfortunately, neither CIFS nor NFS include a truncate() function, and this problem was not noticed because not many people write Volumes directly to a CIFS/NFS mount. Doing so is not really a good idea for a number of reasons reasons.

Any way, once it was discovered (quite a long time ago), I fixed it by "emulating" a truncate. Consequently, I suspect that if you upgrade to a more recent version of Bacula, it will probably work.

Best regards,

Hello List.

Once a week I got this error, when performing a backup.

19 out of 20 backup jobs work well, one fails.

The nas_01 device is a small 1 TB NAS, mounted via fstab:

//192.168.1.9/Volume_1 /nas01_backup cifs soft,username=******,password=******,uid=107,gid=107 0 0

The /nas01_backup/backup/ directory exists on the device and other jobs are using it successfully.

Here is the output of the status mail:

Do you have any advice/idea?

Thank you very much.
