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