1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
7 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
8 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
9 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
10 of other prune/purge subroutines.
11 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
12 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
14 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
15 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
16 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
17 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
18 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
20 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
21 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
23 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
24 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
25 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
26 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
27 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
28 and bacula access to the DB.
29 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
30 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
31 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
32 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
33 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
34 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
35 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
37 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
38 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
39 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
41 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
42 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
45 kes Extend new GUI API.
46 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
47 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
49 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
51 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
52 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
54 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
56 kes More bat implementation.
57 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
58 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
59 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
60 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
61 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
62 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
63 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
64 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
66 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
69 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
70 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
71 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
72 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
74 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
75 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
77 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
78 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
80 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
81 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
84 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
86 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
88 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
89 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
91 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
92 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
93 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
95 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
96 than English. Fixes bug #788.
98 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
100 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
101 It will be fixed soon.
102 If you want to use this, you can apply
103 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
105 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
106 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
107 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
108 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
109 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
110 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
111 update volume=xxx frompool
112 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
115 RecyclePool = Scratch
119 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
120 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
121 that returns more information and will make it easier
122 to interface to the Director from a program.
124 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
125 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
126 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
127 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
128 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
129 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
130 the Changer Command to an empty string.
132 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
133 in a single write() request rather than in two.
134 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
135 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
137 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
138 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
139 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
140 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
142 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
143 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
145 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
146 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
147 was opened, it is closed.
149 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
150 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
151 in the case of orphaned records.
152 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
153 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
154 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
155 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
156 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
157 happens to the ScratchPool?
158 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
159 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
160 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
161 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
162 times are in Bacula units.
163 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
165 kes Update projects list.
167 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
168 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
169 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
170 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
171 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
173 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
174 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
175 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
177 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
178 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
180 Switch to using Subversion
181 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
183 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
184 plus the entrypoints.
185 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
186 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
187 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
189 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
190 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
192 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
193 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
194 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
196 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
197 problem is with read or append.
199 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
200 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
201 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
202 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
203 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
204 (i.e. migration jobs).
205 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
206 a memory leak problem.
207 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
208 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
209 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
210 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
211 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
212 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
213 (hides some of the ugly casting).
214 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
215 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
216 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
217 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
218 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
219 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
220 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
221 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
222 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
224 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
226 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
227 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
228 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
230 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
231 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
233 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
234 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
236 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
237 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
238 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
239 other DIR specifications.
241 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
242 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
243 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
245 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
247 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
248 backup. This should fix bug #755.
249 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
253 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
254 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
255 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
257 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
259 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
260 This *should* fix bug #747.
261 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
264 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
265 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
266 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
267 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
268 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
269 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
271 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
272 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
274 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
