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