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