Re: [Bacula-users] Max Wait Time setting

Hello Brendan,

I have a Bacula Director 5.2.6 running on Debian 8.1.

To avoid an excessive delay in the backup schedule in the event of
insufficient volumes, I added a Max Wait Time value of 600 (seconds) in
the JobDefs for a couple of clients. Jobs for those clients
subsequently were cancelled immediately upon starting, even though the
documentation indicates that the countdown for this setting begins when
a job actually starts, rather than when it is scheduled.

The documentation says that the countdown for this setting begins when the job asks for a volume mount. And this time is a slightly different time than the time that the jobs starts. But it should be used to avoid that a job stucks waiting for a volume as you want. Also, it is working as expected in version 5.2.6 (i have been using this version for a long time). Are you having issues with this? Could you send to the list your log files for this jobs/issues?

This appears to be exactly the same issue described in bug report 1586,
which was never satisfactorily resolved.

Has anyone else encountered this and been able to get the setting to
work as documented?

Thanks,
Brendan

Best regards,

Ana
