1 Technical notes on version 2.2
5 kes Backport almost 4000 lines of 2.3 code that fixes a number of bugs.
6 The details are included in the notes in this file.
8 kes Backport 2.3 code that fixes: it fixes incorrect or incomplete error
9 messages; it fixes a problem opening the SQLite3 database when multiple
10 simultaneous jobs were running; it fixes a bug with certain versions of
11 MySQL where batch inserts failed because of table name character case
12 (upper/lower) differences.
13 kes Fix race condition that drops final block written to volume.
14 This happens in rare cases with multiple simultaneous jobs
15 when the Volume fills. This fixes bug #964. May be related
16 to bug #935 and possibly #903.
18 kes Fix FD->SD authorization failure, which was due to spurious
19 wakeups from a pthread_cond_timedwait(). Simply check the
20 predicate before continuing. This fixes bug #953
21 dvl Add new configuration item --archivedir
22 dvl Adjust regression tests to use tmp not /tmp. This will allow
23 multiple concurrent runs of the regression tests.
25 kes Fix race condition that drops final block written to volume.
26 This happens in rare cases with multiple simultaneous jobs
27 when the Volume fills. This fixes bug #964. May be related
28 to bug #935 and possibly #903.
29 kes Eliminate more strerror() and replace with bstrerror().
30 kes Remove BSD getopt and replace with unrestricted IBM version.
31 kes Fix Win32 build for changed calling sequences.
33 kes Fix FD->SD authorization failure, which was due to spurious
34 wakeups from a pthread_cond_timedwait(). Simply check the
35 predicate before continuing. This fixes bug #953.
36 kes Add const char where needed (more to do).
38 kes Setup SQLite busy handler before doing queries. Fixes bug #967.
39 kes Don't overwrite error message in check_tables_version.
41 kes Unlock batch insert tables with same calls used elsewhere.
42 kes Allow starting 59 jobs a second.
43 kes Make SD session key more random.
44 kes Add retry for SQLite opening db if it fails. Probably helps
46 kes Suppress extra error messages during batch insert failure.
48 kes Put some FD auth code on dbglvl rather than fixed.
49 kes Return insert attributes error message in db msg buffer to avoid
50 false error messages. Helps fix bug #966.
51 kes Separate batch init error messages. Probably helps fix bug #966.
52 kes If Dir gets an error during inserting attributes, cancel SD.
53 This reduces unnecessary error messages.
55 ebl Cleanup batch insert code. Probably fixes bug #965.
57 kes Turn off some code when batch insert not enabled.
58 kes Edit FD name in connect error messages.
60 kes Add code to handle tray monitor separated from Win32 FD.
61 kes Fix display of Win32 tray monitor after reboot. Fixes bug #952.
63 kes Fix ANSI tape labeling. This fixes bug #954.
64 kes Increase the max block size to 4MB fixes bug #957.
65 kes Apply 2.2.4-poll-mount fix, that resolves bug #908 where a tape
66 is not properly mounted (recognized) during a poll.
67 kes Apply 2.2.4-verify patch that resolves bug #958. A Verify catalog
68 Job that has differences reports Verify OK.
72 kes Increase size of name string when FD making connection to SD.
75 kes Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
76 file to always be deleted.
77 kes Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
79 kes Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
80 trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
82 kes Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
83 should fix virtually all cases of bug #920.
85 kes Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
86 have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
87 in bug #942, but not the main problem.
88 kes Add code to cancel job in SD if FD connection fails. This should
90 kes Add code in FD exit to prevent loops and a crash on FreeBSD.
91 kes Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
92 by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
93 kes Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
94 TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.

196 bnet calls -- no functionality change.
198 kes Modify the Verify output to specify if files are missing on
199 the Volume(s) or disk. Fixes confusion in bug #916.
200 kes When more than one Volume is read in a migration job, the last

202 the last written volume. Fixed. This fixes bug #910.
203 kes Fix display of Recycle flag after update volume=foo recycle=yes.
204 It previously printed New Recyle flag is: no. This fixes bug

268 marked as being removable and has the appropriate mount and unmount
269 commands defined in the Device resource. This fixes bug #830.
270 kes When applying a storage override, release all previous storage
271 definitions rather than just prepending the new storage.
272 This should prevent a good deal of confusion.
274 kes Implement ./configure search for qwt libraries.
276 kes Disable posting the WM_CLOSE message in KillRunningCopy of the
277 Win32 FD. This should fix bug #893.

301 kes Make arguments to get_scratch_volume() in same order as other
303 kes Rework the prune_volumes() subroutine so that after purging and
304 no volume found in desired pool, it will check for a scratch
305 volume. This prevents recycling the whole scratch pool.
306 kes Add code to status storage to print boffset_t (largefile support).
308 kes Move qwt (Graphics libarary for Qt4) to depkgs.
309 kes You now need a --with-qwt=<dir> to be able to build bat.
310 kes Update src/win32/cats/bacula_cats.def to include the new
311 db_get_query_dbids() call on Win32.

336 bug in migration code where a job that spanned two volumes
339 kes Implement new BST_DESPOOLING blocked state. Change from locking
340 during despooling in SD to blocking. This means that other threads
341 can work with the device structure, in particular the reservations
342 system while despooling.
344 kes Fix return in reservation message queue that missed clearing
345 the jcr lock (implemented 26Jun07 below).
346 kes Rename a number of dev methods to make locking function names

367 spurious line drops when using TLS.
368 kes Do not file reparse points when restoring a file that already
371 kes Implement Windows reparse points -- similar to directories, but
372 we do not descend into it. This is a first cut. They seem to
373 be backed up, but restore is not yet tested.
374 kes Remove restore_blocking in tls code when shutting a socket to leave
375 it in blocking mode. Hopefully this will fix the encryption bug
376 reported by Frank Sweetser.
377 kes When opening a file for backup, tell the OS that we are going to
378 read it sequentially -- optimization.
379 kes Change variable names in authenticate_director() to not conflict

412 kes Tweak debug code in autochanger reservation.
414 kes Add some additional locking in the cats directory in subroutines
415 that modify packet variables called from batch insert.
416 kes Rework how dcrs are allocated. new_dcr() can now be called
417 with an existing pointer, and it will simply clean it up.
418 This allows the reservation system to test various different
419 devices, and will permit easy device changes.
420 kes A bunch of changes all over to handle new new_dcr() calling
422 kes Work more on the Volume management in the SD. Remember Volumes
423 for tape drives and for autochangers (even virtual disk changers).
424 kes When looking at the Volume list to reserve a drive, handle
425 autochanger names correctly by interating through the changer
426 devices. Also call the Director to see if a Volume is suitable
428 kes Fix some bugs in bscan. Make sure all media records are written.
429 Make sure that valid JobMedia records are written for disk files.
430 Previously they were completely wrong.
431 kes Move source tar files for depkgs-mingw32 to www.bacula.org so
432 that the URLs don't change and so that the developers will all
433 work off the same copy. Rebuild from scrach.
434 kes Upgrade Win32 SQLite3 from 3.3.8 to 3.3.17.
438 kes Fix seg fault in FD from incorrect digest size.
439 kes Fix argument to non-OpenSSL crypto.c subroutine.
443 kes Remove a few malloc()s from the encryption code.
444 kes Use the class calls to bsock in filed/backup.c and restore.c in
445 place of the old bnet_xxx code.
446 kes Implement code that does an on the fly calculation of the
447 signing digest during restore of encrypted files. It makes
448 a best guess at the algorithm, and if it is not correct, will
449 then revert to the old code which reads the file after it is
451 kes Implement at least one missing crypto stream in stream_to_ascii()
452 kes Apply patch from William <chowmeined@gmail.com> that fixes bug
453 #877 where a reload with bad syntax causes Dir to exit.
455 Cut: 2.1.14 beta (not released)
457 kes Do not free a volume on a tape drive until another volume is
458 mounted and read, or the autochanger unloads the volume.
459 This should help the SD re-use volumes that are already mounted,
460 and should fix bug #886.
461 kes Apply patch from user brettedgar that allows gnome2-console include
462 the OpenSSL libraries, and hence work with SSL. Fixes bug #885.

502 safe libraries. It is on by default, but turned off if no thread
503 safe library (e.g. SQLite 2) is available.
505 kes Fix Bacula PostgreSQL buffer overruns.
506 kes Do better checking for NULL results returned from PostgreSQL;

511 Prefer Mounted Volumes = no.
512 kes Fix a Bacula PostgreSQL bug dereferencing a NULL pointer
513 returned from a query.
514 kes Make volume lock recursive.

524 kes Enhance SD status to include Pool and Media Type for drive in a
525 more readable format (a bit longer).
526 kes Fix PostgreSQL double free.
528 kes Minor refactoring of restore decryption code.
529 kes Add code to smartall.c to detect double free of a buffer.
531 kes Add < > around %r in from field on mail command of bacula-dir.conf.in

792 <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
794 The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
795 an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
796 A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented

842 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
843 it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
844 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
845 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
846 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
847 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.

891 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
892 amount of duplicated code.

988 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
989 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
991 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
992 than English. Fixes bug #788.
994 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.

1016 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
1017 that returns more information and will make it easier
1018 to interface to the Director from a program.
1020 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
1021 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
1022 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
1023 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
1024 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
1025 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
1026 the Changer Command to an empty string.
1028 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
1029 in a single write() request rather than in two.
1030 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
1031 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool

1046 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
1047 in the case of orphaned records.
1048 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
1049 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
1050 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
1051 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
1052 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
1053 happens to the ScratchPool?
1054 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
1055 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
1056 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
1057 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
1058 times are in Bacula units.
1059 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
1061 kes Update projects list.
1063 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
1064 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
1065 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.

1067 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
1069 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
1070 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
1071 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
1073 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
1074 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
1076 Switch to using Subversion
1077 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
1079 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
1080 plus the entrypoints.
1081 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
1082 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
1083 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
1085 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
1086 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
1088 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
1089 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
1090 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
1092 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
1093 problem is with read or append.
1095 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
1096 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
1097 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
1098 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
1099 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
1100 (i.e. migration jobs).
1101 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
1102 a memory leak problem.
1103 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
1104 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
1105 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
1106 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
1107 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
1108 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
1109 (hides some of the ugly casting).
1110 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
1111 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
1112 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
1113 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
1114 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
1115 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
1116 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
1117 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
1118 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
1120 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
1122 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
