1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 ebl Fix #824 RunScript bug (After script could be execute twice)
6 Now, Before Script can use RunsOnSuccess and RunsOnFailure options
7 By default (like before) RunsOnSuccess=true and RunsOnFailure=false
8 Add a regression script to test RunScript
10 kes Correct usage of MTIOCLRERR ioctl for clearing persistant errors
13 kes The bgnome-console (gnome-console) and bwx-console (wx-console) are
14 deprecated. No additional bugs will be fixed, and they will be dropped
15 in a future release (probably 2.4.0).
16 kes Change name of wx-console to bwx-console to make it more Bacula
18 kes Change the name of gnome-console to bgnome-console to make it
21 kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
22 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
24 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
25 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
26 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
27 in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
28 of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
29 have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
31 kes Add new/changed entry points to Win32 build
32 kes Create unaccepted-projects for projects that are not accepted.
33 kes Simplify locking in the reservations system.
34 kes Add more debug code in reservations.
35 kes Make sure error condition on reserving a volume is handled correctly.
36 kes Correct handling of volume_in_use.
37 kes Correct handling of initializing a device.
38 kes Move handling of broadcasting releasing a device into release_device().
39 kes Correct attaching dcr to dev so that it is only done if device
40 is properly initiated.
42 kes Locking debug level tweaks in SD.
43 kes Tweak new Volume code.
45 kes Add exec external-command [wait-seconds] to bconsole. This
46 executes the external-command. Note! normally external-command
47 should be enclosed in double quotes.
48 kes Turn the .die command on only if DEVELOPER is defined -- i.e.
49 it should normally be off in a production system.
51 kes Implement die command for SD so that we can force it to dump.
52 kes Implement SD lock debug code.
53 kes Implement new algorithm for keeping Volume list in SD. It
54 is now owned by the device.
56 kes Implement new code for freeing in use volumes that should
57 resolve if not all, some of the problems of multiple drive
58 tape conflicts described in bug 801.
60 kes Fix gui/bacula-web/images files in svn.
61 kes Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
63 ebl Fix a bug in batch mode (in string escape)
64 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
67 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
68 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
69 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
70 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
72 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
73 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
74 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
75 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
76 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
77 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
79 kes Make database name and user configurable
80 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
81 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
83 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
84 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
85 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
88 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
89 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
91 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
92 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
94 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
95 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
96 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
97 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
99 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
102 kes More pruning cleanup.
103 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
104 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
105 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
106 No install yet though.
108 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
109 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
110 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
111 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
113 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
114 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
116 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
117 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
118 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
120 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
121 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
122 amount of duplicated code.
123 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
124 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
125 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
127 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
129 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
130 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
131 Fix sql stuff for mysql
133 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
134 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
135 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
136 of other prune/purge subroutines.
137 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
138 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
140 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
141 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
142 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
143 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
144 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
146 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
147 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
149 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
150 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
151 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
152 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
153 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
154 and bacula access to the DB.
155 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
156 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
157 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
158 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
159 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
160 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
161 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
163 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
164 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
165 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
167 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
168 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
171 kes Extend new GUI API.
172 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
173 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
175 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
177 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
178 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
180 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
182 kes More bat implementation.
183 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
184 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
185 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
186 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
187 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
188 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
189 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
190 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
192 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
195 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
196 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
197 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
198 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
200 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
201 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
203 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
204 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
206 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
207 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
210 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
212 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
214 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
215 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
217 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
218 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
219 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
221 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
222 than English. Fixes bug #788.
224 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
226 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
227 It will be fixed soon.
228 If you want to use this, you can apply
229 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
231 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
232 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
233 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
234 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
235 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
236 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
237 update volume=xxx frompool
238 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
241 RecyclePool = Scratch
245 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
246 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
247 that returns more information and will make it easier
248 to interface to the Director from a program.
250 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
251 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
252 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
253 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
254 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
255 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
256 the Changer Command to an empty string.
258 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
259 in a single write() request rather than in two.
260 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
261 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
263 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
264 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
265 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
266 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
268 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
269 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
271 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
272 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
273 was opened, it is closed.
275 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
276 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
277 in the case of orphaned records.
278 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
279 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
280 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
281 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
282 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
283 happens to the ScratchPool?
284 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
285 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
286 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
287 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
288 times are in Bacula units.
289 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
291 kes Update projects list.
293 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
294 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
295 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
296 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
297 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
299 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
300 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
301 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
303 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
304 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
306 Switch to using Subversion
307 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
309 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
310 plus the entrypoints.
311 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
312 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
313 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
315 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
316 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
318 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
319 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
320 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
322 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
323 problem is with read or append.
325 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
326 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
327 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
328 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
329 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
330 (i.e. migration jobs).
331 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
332 a memory leak problem.
333 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
334 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
335 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
336 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
337 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
338 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
339 (hides some of the ugly casting).
340 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
341 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
342 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
343 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
344 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
345 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
346 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
347 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
348 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
350 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
352 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
353 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
354 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
356 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
357 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
359 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
360 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
362 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
363 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
364 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
365 other DIR specifications.
367 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
368 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
369 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
371 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
373 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
374 backup. This should fix bug #755.
375 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
379 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
380 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
381 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
383 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
385 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
386 This *should* fix bug #747.
387 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
390 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
391 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
392 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
393 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
394 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
395 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
397 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
398 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
