1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 kes Correct migration prune SQL typo that crept in in a
8 kes Move bnet_despool() into class in bsock.c
9 kes Modify job report to include director name and Build OS.
10 kes Move drop and check_catalog() before fork.
11 kes Add update database scripts (version 9 to 10) to updatedb directory.
13 ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
14 it has changed during backup, if "checkfilechanges" is set.
15 The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
16 each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
17 'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
18 error message will be generated. You must upgrade FD to use it.
20 kes Make database name and user configurable
21 --with-db-name=xxx --with-db-user=xxx
22 kes Add back database type to message.c for debugging.
24 kes Implement dir_sql() which issues an SQL query.
25 kes Modify bat medialist to use dir_sql() and do some minor C++
26 formatting as well as eliminating a number of pointers, simplifing
29 kes Fix some of the mtx-changer grep commands for tape label readers.
30 kes Convert a number of bsendmsg into the appropriate send/warning/error
32 kes Suppress the using database message in the .sql command.
33 kes Correct an incorrect bnet_tls_client prototype -- patch from Martin.
35 kes Add context menu for floating a window.
36 kes Some minor cleanup and name changes in qt-console
37 kes Add doing mt setblk 0 in Win32 mtx-changer.
38 kes Apply Martin's bug fix to move definition of ENODATA for
40 ebl Add a BUSY handler to sqlite to be able to use multi_db = 1 with
43 kes More pruning cleanup.
44 kes Turn on wait_for_drive by default in mtx-changer.
45 kes Turn on Batch insert code by default as it now passes regression.
46 kes Add ./configure --enable-bat to enable building of Bat.
47 No install yet though.
49 kes Implement a new .sql command for bat.
50 kes Implement code to turn off pruning in obtaining the next volume.
51 Pruning is turned off for the status dir command, but turned on
52 for SD requests and for the list nextvolume command.
54 kes Correct Qmsg() that was not updated correctly when committing a
55 previous change (probably the recent TLS patch).
57 kes Write new subroutine is_volume_purged() that explicitly checks
58 if the Volume is purged, and if so marks it as such. This should
59 resolve problems reported about needing to mount twice to recycle
61 kes Rewrite pruning algorithm to do more work in the SQL engine, and
62 to pass a list of JobIds to be deleted to SQL. Also, minimize the
63 amount of duplicated code.
64 kes Do volume pruning only for the Media Type desired (reduces pruning time
65 if multiple Media Types are in the same pool).
66 kes Implement more detailed info in the Job report for the Bacula version
68 kes Switch from POOLMEM to POOL_MEM (a real class) in ua_prune.c and
70 ebl Add bbatch tool to bench database and insert mode.
71 Fix sql quote stuff in batch mode
72 Fix sql stuff for mysql
74 kes Correct problems with am/pm scheduling. Fixes bug #808.
75 kes Implement new prunning code that prunes up to 1000 jobs at
76 the same time. The same technique can be applied to a number
77 of other prune/purge subroutines.
78 kes Add an insanity check when starting a new tape job to ensure
79 that the tape position has not been changed. If so fail the
81 kes Fix Win32 build for dlls to add the folllowing:
82 src/lib/bsock.c -- new file with new entry points
83 src/lib/dlist.c -- new entry points
84 src/cats/sql_create.c -- new entry point
85 src/cats/sql_cmds.c -- new DATA item exported
87 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
88 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
90 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
91 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
92 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
93 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
94 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
95 and bacula access to the DB.
96 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
97 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
98 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
99 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
100 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
101 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
102 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
104 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
105 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
106 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
108 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
109 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
112 kes Extend new GUI API.
113 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
114 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
116 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
118 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
119 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
121 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
123 kes More bat implementation.
124 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
125 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
126 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
127 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
128 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
129 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
130 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
131 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
133 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
136 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
137 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
138 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
139 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
141 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
142 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
144 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
145 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
147 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
148 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
151 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
153 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
155 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
156 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
158 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
159 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
160 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
162 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
163 than English. Fixes bug #788.
165 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
167 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
168 It will be fixed soon.
169 If you want to use this, you can apply
170 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
172 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
173 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
174 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
175 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
176 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
177 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
178 update volume=xxx frompool
179 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
182 RecyclePool = Scratch
186 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
187 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
188 that returns more information and will make it easier
189 to interface to the Director from a program.
191 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
192 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
193 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
194 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
195 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
196 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
197 the Changer Command to an empty string.
199 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
200 in a single write() request rather than in two.
201 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
202 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
204 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
205 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
206 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
207 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
209 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
210 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
212 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
213 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
214 was opened, it is closed.
216 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
217 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
218 in the case of orphaned records.
219 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
220 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
221 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
222 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
223 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
224 happens to the ScratchPool?
225 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
226 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
227 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
228 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
229 times are in Bacula units.
230 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
232 kes Update projects list.
234 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
235 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
236 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
237 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
238 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
240 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
241 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
242 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
244 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
245 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
247 Switch to using Subversion
248 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
250 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
251 plus the entrypoints.
252 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
253 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
254 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
256 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
257 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
259 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
260 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
261 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
263 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
264 problem is with read or append.
266 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
267 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
268 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
269 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
270 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
271 (i.e. migration jobs).
272 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
273 a memory leak problem.
274 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
275 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
276 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
277 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
278 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
279 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
280 (hides some of the ugly casting).
281 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
282 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
283 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
284 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
285 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
286 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
287 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
288 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
289 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
291 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
293 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
294 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
295 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
297 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
298 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
300 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
301 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
303 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
304 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
305 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
306 other DIR specifications.
308 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
309 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
310 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
312 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
314 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
315 backup. This should fix bug #755.
316 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
320 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
321 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
322 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
324 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
326 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
327 This *should* fix bug #747.
328 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
331 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
332 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
333 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
334 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
335 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
336 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
338 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
339 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
341 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
