Changes to 1.38.3:
- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
+- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be
+ mounted and the mount messages has been modified.
+ (the above two items are a potential source of problems).
+- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
+ volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
+- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
+- Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and
+ it is not an autochanger.
+- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
+ This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
+ rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
+ file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
+- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
+ if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
+ Arnos problem.
+- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
+- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
+- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
+ code. This should fix bug #500.
+- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
+- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
+ of the mode.
+- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
+ You have messages.
+- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
+ only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
+ #514.
+- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
+- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
+ more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
+ jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
+- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
+- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
+- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
+- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
+- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
+- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
+ for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
+- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
+- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
and always open nonblocking.
- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
Items to note!!!
+- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
+ (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
+ more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
+ general, you should always do a "unmount" prior to removing a
+ tape, and a "mount" after putting a new one into the drive.
- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
such as "update slots" may not work.
files, called "parts".
- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
+- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
+ by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
+ to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If
+ all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure
+ to use user=bacula.
