To get the same behavior as before, + you must explicitly use "Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet. +- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives + (typical error for Windows users), unless the string is + enclosed in double quotes, in which case, the backslashes + must be doubled. + +Major Changes for 1.38.10: +- This is a primarily a bug fix release, with the following bugs being + resolved #570, 609, 611, 613, 614, 617 as well as other bugs not + reported in the bugs database. See below for details. +- The bconsole "reload" command should now work properly in virtually + all situations thanks to the efforts of a number of people (Eric, + Christopher, and myself). +- There is an untested fix to eliminate the scheduling problems (either + no job run or the same job run twice) during sudden clock shifts (daylight + savings time change). +- The manual has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL). + The major difference is that this removes the prior restriction on + commercial reproduction of the manual. +- Fixed a race condition (thanks to Christopher) on dual processor machines + that caused jobs to block when starting with the SD. + +New features for 1.38.10: +- None + +Fixes for 1.38.10: +08Jun06 +- Modify setting ACLs to suppress error message if the file is a + symbolic link since the file linked to may not yet be created, + and symbolic links really should not have attributes ... +06Jun06 +- Complete implementation of acl.c error message during restore. + During backups, errors getting acls are silently ignored, as was + previously the case. +04Jun06 +- Modify configure.in to check for typeof(). +- Better detection of postgresql installation if pg_conf works. +- Fix RescheduleTimes = 0 bug (should not reschedule). +- Down port from 1.39: fixes for reload, autochanger error messages, + scheduler fixes for reload and day light savings change, +01Jun06 +- Implement partial error messages for src/filed/acl.c +- Fix return code to fail when doing update barcodes and + Pool resource is not found. This previously caused Volumes + to be labeled as cleaning tapes. +- Small updates to projects file. +26May06 +- Prevent DVD code from rewriting label if the device cannot be + opened read/write. +- Fix Dir/SD run race in migrate.c, verify.c, and restore.c +- Update projects file. +24May06 +- Applied patch posted by Jaime Ventura to bug #570 to correct failure + of restarted jobs to complete (due to a destroyed pthreads conditional + variable used by the message thread). +- Fixed bug #619 where Bacula would not restart jobs with MaxRestartTimes + set to zero. +- Apply patch from John Goerzen bug #611 to fix bad manual links in the code. +- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #614 to removed trailing + colons in query.sql file. +- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #613 to correct prunning of files + not to create orphans. +- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #617 to use mtime instead of ctime + in restore long listing. +- Apply patch from Rudolf Cejka bug #609 to use MarkId in verify.c instead + of incorrect MarkedId. +- Apply patch from adioso bug #616 to correct text in manual (replace + Director with File daemon). +21May06 +- Move DIR "run" command to SD before starting the message thread + as suggested by Cristopher Hull to avoid a race deadlock from + two threads using the bsock structure. +- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian. +05May06 +- Correct EOF with no \n lex.c problem. +- Add additional INFO messages if autochanger cannot be used. +- Add Eric Bollengier's lex error handler fix, which corrects most + of the reload problems. + + +New features for 1.38.9: +- A "Dir Status" button in the Gnome console. + +Fixes: +This is mainly a bug fix release containing a collection of + minor fixes for 1.38.8. +- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during + a restore. +- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file. +- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap + statistics. +- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when + they should not be (e.g. commands). +- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob + Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599. +- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR + listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect + values. +- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR + and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted. +- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32 + machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if + there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper + FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be + restorable. +- Delete src/win32/License.txt +- Modify installer to install LICENSE +- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka. +- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console. +- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level. +- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files. + Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user. +- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use + working directory. Fixes bug #578. +- Update job start time after the any run before job so that + files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes + bug #599. +- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in + the restore command when reading a file. This permits + the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes + bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly. +- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir + command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what + the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix + was suggested by the user. +- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more + portability. +- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for + more portability. +- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather + than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems. +- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in + as reported by a user. + + +New features for 1.38.8: +- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the + Win32 FD. However, this is new experimental code that is + largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory + leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully + before using. +- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex + and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and + wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other + binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems. + +Fixes: +- See below. + +New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases: +- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if + no appendable Volumes are available. +- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for + documentation. +- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =', + which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can + be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot + correctly detect the DVD. +- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory. +- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the + name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers + as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers + to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each + job. +- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways + of displaying the information. +- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids. +- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They + are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn. +- Add two new console commands: enable job= and + disable job=. When a job is disabled, it will not + be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart + Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled. +- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no". +- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that + allows you to try regular expressions on your system. + +Major bug fixes: +- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where + both drives want the same Volume. +- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console + if it is not in ACL. +- Writable FIFOs now work for restore. +- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands. +- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers + should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names, + update slots use correct StorageId). +- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed + while in the reservation process. + + +Minor bug fixes: +- See below: + +Release 1.38.8 (14Apr06) +14Apr06 +- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh +- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh +- Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name = +12Apr06 +- Change the name of the regex program to bregex. +- Add the bwild program to the tools directory. It is similar + to the bregex program. +- Implement create bregex.h and bregex.c in src/lib from the + Python regexp program. +- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32. +11Apr06 +- Modify Makefile to change the permissions on Working Directory + to 770 if the directory is created. +- Do not fail the Makefile if changing the permissions or + owner/group on WorkingDir fails. +- Correct the old recycling algorithm so that Scratch Volumes + are selected when looking for a Volume in the changer. +- Correct a typo in the Verify SQL reported by Joe Park. +10Apr06 +- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must + explictly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option. +- Remove the code added to 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 that pulls a + scratch volume in an Autochanger early in the 'recycling' + algorithm. +08Apr06 +- Tweak license to include Microsoft restrictions. +- Move mysql.reconnect to after real_connect(). Thanks to + Frank Sweetser for the patch. +- Disallow a backslash in a File = directive (Windows junk) + unless the string is quoted. +- Apply Eric's patch to ua_label.c so that daemon protocol + is not translated. + +Release 1.38.7 (06Apr06) released 07Apr06 +06Apr06 +- Remove timed wait for VSS on Win2K3 as it is not yet + implemented. +- Correct bacula.in script to reference bacula-ctl-xx in the + sysconfig directory rather than the bin directory. + +Release 1.38.6 (28Mar06) released 29Mar06 +28Mar06 +- Back port from 1.39 fixes to lib/jcr.c to use foreach_jcr() + and new jcr chain locking. +26Mar06 +- Fix a long standing bug in the bacula start/stop scripts. +- Attempt to add the new bacula-ctl-* files to the rpm. +- Switch to using typeof() for list traversing to avoid + as many FC5 g++ compiler warnings as possible. +25Mar06 +- Split the bacula start/start script into four files: + bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts + bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director + bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon + bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon +- Create datestyle fix for PostgreSQL. Fixes bug #574. +- Correct editing of JobId from int to int64 in fd_cmds.c +- Eliminate FileSet name race with bash_spaces() and multiple + threads by bashing in a local. +- Fix error return from 'use storage' to print a correct error + message rather than nothing. +- Correct false re-read last block error message when two jobs + are simultaneously writing at the end of a tape. +- Simplify exit conditions in the reserve.c code to avoid + possible non-release of reservation_lock(). +- Suffle lock order in reserve to avoid deadlock between + reservation lock and device mutex. +- Add Thorsten's VSS timeout code to 1.38 branch. +- Initialize jcr mutex before first use. Thanks to Thorsten for + tracking this down for me !!!! as it broke the Win32 build. +- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from + Sebastian Stark +- Implement regex test program in tools directory. +- Attempt to fix time problem with bsmtp with foreign langs. +- Add strip_trailing_newline() submitted by user. + +Release 1.38.6 beta6 16Mar06 +- Fix bug #537 to allow arbitrary time to mount a volume for + restore, if polling is turned on. +- Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's + problem. +- Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid. +- If dir_user or dir-group is specified in ./configure apply it to + the working-dir. Fixes bug #533. +- If rescheduling a job cancel the previous incarnation with the SD. + Fixes bugs #566 and 557. +- Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict. + +Release 1.38.6 beta5 14Mar06 +- Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private. +- Create lock/unlock methods for jcr. +- Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading + records to get to seek position. +- Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions. +- Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread + terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy + SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local + mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor + use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs. +- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in + lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing. +- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with + multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list. +- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique. +- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations + system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c. + This could possibly fix bug #543. +- Stop SD command loop if job is canceled. + +Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06 +04Mar06 +- The po files should now be current. +- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the + buffers in all cases. +- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object). +- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname + to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to + be the numeric (non-unique) job id. +- Allow listing by any of the above. +- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time + and rates with suffexes. +- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items. +- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by + Bacula. +- Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid. +- Add ACL checking for the dot commands. +- Fix restore of writable FIFOs. +- Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early. + +26Feb06 +- Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls +- Update the po files at Eric's request. + +Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06 +25Feb06 +- Add sql_use_result() define. + +Changes to 1.38.6-beta1 +- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL. +- Add virtual disk autochanger code. +- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work + correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks. +- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage(). +- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably + trashed the stack. +- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode + exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search + for a Scratch Volume. +- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix. +- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning. +- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected. +- Check that user supplied a value before referencing + it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian. +- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code. +- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when + updating all volumes in a Pool. +- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr. +- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that + two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time. +- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape, + dvd, and fifo. +- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across + a re-open to change read/write permission on a device. +- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger + scripts. +- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable. +- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds + up restore tree building and reduces the memory load. +- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from + the Scratch Pool. +- Implement additional command line options for update Volume. +- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating + all Volumes in a pool. + +Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06: +- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka. +- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk + so that SD will by default have access to tape drives. +- Allow users to specify user/group and start options + for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file. + +Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06: +- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon, + thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the + same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32 + FD or later. +- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One + list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other + lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...). +- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory + pool by releasing free buffers. +- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c +- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5. +- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the + number of items goes to zero. +- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level + so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before + waiting. +- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built + and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system. + These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve + a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple + messages will generally print for each JobId because they + represent the different problems with either the same drive + or different drives. If this output proves too confusing + of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1 + or greater is enabled in the SD. +- Add enable/disable job=. This command prevents + the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled, + the job can be manually started from the console. +- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the + StorageId is zero (old Media records). +- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned + slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer. +- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs. +- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the + drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes + Arno's changer bug. +- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time. +- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file + differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h + hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c + util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto + upgrades. +- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The + incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking + routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed + from under the walk routines. + + +Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06: +- 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). +- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open(). +- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload + message. +- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero. +- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast(). +- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal. +- Remove unused code in wait_for_device. +- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait. +- Use localhost if no network configured +- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509. +- Update specs to include mysql4 define. +- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal + and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan + to get FileIndex at EOT correct. +- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls. +- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix + correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs. + Bug # 506. +- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) + to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client + IP. Fixes bug # 508. +- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by + Christian Masopust. +- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files + from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages. +- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from + Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets. +- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets + errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems. +- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume. +- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool. +- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it + caused an error. +- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied. +- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used + at the same time. +- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at + If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with + 'list nextvol days=xx' + or + 'status dir days=xx' + My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the + next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during + the weekend. +- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501. +- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault + fixes bug 502 +- Applied user patch to improve README.vc8 in src/win32. +- Ensure that StorageId is stored in Media record when ever possible. +- Remove old code from winservice.cpp +- Break on error in scan. +- Fix typo in signal.c +- Separate read/write DCR in SD. Add jcr->read_dcr. +- Cleanup how find_device() works. +- Remove abs() in bfile.c so that it compiles on Solaris. Bug #491. + +Changes to 1.38.2: +- Fix crash in tray-monitor when daemon disconnects. Bug #479. +- Fix bnet-server bug found on OpenBSD. Bug #486 +- Fix cancel failure bug. Bug #481 +- Fix failure when Pool name has spaces. Bug #487 +- Fix SD crash in autochanger code. Mutex failure. Bug #488 +- Fix a couple of free()s in src/filed/acl.c +- Fix memory overrun in bfile.c in building OS X resource + fork filename. Bug #489 +- Add Pool name to SD status output. +- Add Python install dir for Solaris to configure. Bug #492 + +Changes to 1.38.1: +- Corrected ACL for Solaris (David Duchscher and Attila Fulop). +- Add bacula_mail_summary.sh to examples directory. It makes + a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted + by Adrew J. Millar. +- Unmount command now unloads autochanger. +- Fix hang in FD (Martin Simmons) +- Fix Win98 stat() problem in FD (Thorsten Engel) +- Fix update slots which did not clear missing tapes. +- Fix autostart install for FreeBSD (user reported) +- Fix several problems with PostgreSQL scripts (Eric Bollinger) +- Critical: allow restore of the first file of non-portable Win32 backup. +- Important: with muliple concurrent jobs the autochanger could get + confused because of a missing mutex. +- Fix accessing last slot in label and update slots. +- Modify configure.in to add execute option to sqlite3 catalog + scripts. +- Create update_xxx_table_8_to_9 scripts for updatedb +- Move the -lcrypt for PostgreSQL after the PostgreSQL libs in + autoconf/bacula-macros/db.m4 as suggested by user. Fixes bug #457. +- Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested + by user. Fixes bug #456. +- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!! + +Major Changes in 1.38: +- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore. +- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive + autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger + resource in the Storage daemon. +- There is a new database format that is not compatible + with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting + from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30. +- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are + Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. + All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. +- Support for ANSI/IBM labels. +- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into + the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up. +- Python Event support has been added. See below for + configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal, + so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface + has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA. +- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in + the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks + to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still + BETA and should be carefully tested before using in + production. +- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource: + ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir, + and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details. +- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file + records have been removed from the catalog. +- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level). +- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks + to Landon Fuller. +- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any + other Pool when a new Volume is needed. +- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data + to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually, + any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it + also be used to group jobs. +- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel) +- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to + backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel). + A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly + turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource. +- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham). +- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer). +- SQLite3 support. +- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances, + is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management + level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs. +- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized + in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat. + +New Directives: +- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the + SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid + Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available, + it will select the first available drive. +- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits + cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use + Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\'' + Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that + is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you + want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as + storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the + default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees + that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=... + ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental + and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full. + A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible + to recurse. +- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3): + - WildDir xxx + Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not + be matched). + - WildFile xxx + Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not + be matched). + - RegexDir xxx + Will do a regular expression match against directories (files + will not be matched). + - RegexFile xxx + Will do a regular expression match against files( directories + will not be matched). + - IgnoreCase = yes | no + Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches. + This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant. + - FsType = string + where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc, + reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3 + systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives + and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type + specified on the fstype directive does not match the + filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will + not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent + backing up non-local filesystems. + - HFS Plus Support = yes | no + If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored. +- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula + Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource. + If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take + precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD. +- Check Labels = yes | no + Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read + ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume + is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will + check the label type. +- Scripts Directory = name. Defines the directory from + which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula + appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories, + so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories. +- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have + a lot, it can be very expensive), by using: + HardLinks = no + in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks. +- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource) + Defines the maximum part size. +- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource) + Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it + must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives + must be defined in the same Device resource: + + Mount Point = directory + Directory where the device must be mounted. + + Mount Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command + is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the + Mount Point. + + Unmount Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the + command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and + %m with the Mount Point. + + Write Part Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before + the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m + with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), + and %v with the current part filename. + + Free Space Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left + on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with + the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part + number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. +- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource) + If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be + created after the job is finished. +- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter + of the manual. + +New Commands: +- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make + sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change + a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script. + +New configure options: +- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for + the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required. +- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed + 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. +- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line + if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be + automatically detected if in the standard place. +- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that + can be ignored. +- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your + old database. After installation, run from your scripts + directory: + + ./upgrade_bacula_tables + + You can also find this script in the /src/cats + directory. +- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are + Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. + All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. +- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if + you want TLS communications encryption support. +- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in + all cases, so it is turned off. +- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an + AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that + generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault. + Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The + solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is + turned on (normally it is -O2). + This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with + gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on + an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all + users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when + compiling. + + +Other Items Fixed: +- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during + ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk. +- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory, + which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and + Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed + (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs + program must be patched using the + /patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch + You must have Python installed to run the scripts. +- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple + 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. diff --git a/docs/techlogs/RN-1.38.11 b/docs/techlogs/RN-1.38.11 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e839a661 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/techlogs/RN-1.38.11 @@ -0,0 +1,807 @@ + + Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.11 + + Bacula code: Total files = 423 Total lines = 139,479 (*.h *.c *.in) + +Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater: +- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case + in wild-card comparions.

Fixes + bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly. +- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir + command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what + the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574.

However, this is new experimental code that is + largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory + leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully + before using. +- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex + and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and + wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other + binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems. + +Fixes: +- See below. + +New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases: +- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if + no appendable Volumes are available. +- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for + documentation. +- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =', + which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can + be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot + correctly detect the DVD. +- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory. +- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the + name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers + as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers + to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each + job. +- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways + of displaying the information. +- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids. +- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They + are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn. +- Add two new console commands: enable job= and + disable job=. When a job is disabled, it will not + be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart + Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled. +- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no". +- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that + allows you to try regular expressions on your system. + +Major bug fixes: +- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where + both drives want the same Volume. +- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console + if it is not in ACL. +- Writable FIFOs now work for restore. +- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands. +- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers + should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names, + update slots use correct StorageId). +- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed + while in the reservation process. + + +Minor bug fixes: +- See below: + +Release 1.38.8 (14Apr06) +14Apr06 +- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh +- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh +- Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name = +12Apr06 +- Change the name of the regex program to bregex. +- Add the bwild program to the tools directory.

Fix poor + use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs. +- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in + lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing. +- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with + multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list. +- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique. +- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations + system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c. + This could possibly fix bug #543. +- Stop SD command loop if job is canceled. + +Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06 +04Mar06 +- The po files should now be current. +- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the + buffers in all cases. +- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object). +- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname + to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to + be the numeric (non-unique) job id. +- Allow listing by any of the above. +- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time + and rates with suffexes. +- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items. +- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by + Bacula. +- Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid. +- Add ACL checking for the dot commands. +- Fix restore of writable FIFOs. +- Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early. + +26Feb06 +- Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls +- Update the po files at Eric's request. + +Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06 +25Feb06 +- Add sql_use_result() define. + +Changes to 1.38.6-beta1 +- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL. +- Add virtual disk autochanger code. +- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work + correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks. +- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage(). +- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably + trashed the stack. +- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode + exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search + for a Scratch Volume. +- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix. +- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning. +- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected. +- Check that user supplied a value before referencing + it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian. +- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code. +- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when + updating all volumes in a Pool. +- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr. +- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that + two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time. +- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape, + dvd, and fifo. +- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across + a re-open to change read/write permission on a device. +- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger + scripts. +- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable. +- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds + up restore tree building and reduces the memory load. +- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from + the Scratch Pool. +- Implement additional command line options for update Volume. +- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating + all Volumes in a pool. + +Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06: +- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka. +- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk + so that SD will by default have access to tape drives. +- Allow users to specify user/group and start options + for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file. + +Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06: +- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon, + thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the + same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32 + FD or later. +- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One + list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other + lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...). +- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory + pool by releasing free buffers. +- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c +- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5. +- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the + number of items goes to zero. +- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level + so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before + waiting. +- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built + and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system. + These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve + a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple + messages will generally print for each JobId because they + represent the different problems with either the same drive + or different drives. If this output proves too confusing + of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1 + or greater is enabled in the SD. +- Add enable/disable job=. This command prevents + the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled, + the job can be manually started from the console. +- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the + StorageId is zero (old Media records). +- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned + slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer. +- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs. +- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the + drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes + Arno's changer bug. +- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time. +- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file + differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h + hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c + util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto + upgrades. +- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The + incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking + routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed + from under the walk routines. + + +Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06: +- 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). +- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open(). +- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload + message. +- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero. +- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast(). +- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal. +- Remove unused code in wait_for_device. +- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait. +- Use localhost if no network configured +- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509. +- Update specs to include mysql4 define. +- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal + and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan + to get FileIndex at EOT correct. +- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls. +- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix + correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs. + Bug # 506. +- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) + to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client + IP. Fixes bug # 508. +- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by + Christian Masopust. +- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files + from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages. +- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from + Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets. +- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets + errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems. +- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume. +- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool. +- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it + caused an error. +- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied. +- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used + at the same time. +- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at + If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with + 'list nextvol days=xx' + or + 'status dir days=xx' + My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the + next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during + the weekend. +- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501. +- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault + fixes bug 502 +- Applied user patch to improve README.vc8 in src/win32. +- Ensure that StorageId is stored in Media record when ever possible. +- Remove old code from winservice.cpp +- Break on error in scan. +- Fix typo in signal.c +- Separate read/write DCR in SD.

Millar. +- Unmount command now unloads autochanger. +- Fix hang in FD (Martin Simmons) +- Fix Win98 stat() problem in FD (Thorsten Engel) +- Fix update slots which did not clear missing tapes. +- Fix autostart install for FreeBSD (user reported) +- Fix several problems with PostgreSQL scripts (Eric Bollinger) +- Critical: allow restore of the first file of non-portable Win32 backup. +- Important: with muliple concurrent jobs the autochanger could get + confused because of a missing mutex. +- Fix accessing last slot in label and update slots. +- Modify configure.in to add execute option to sqlite3 catalog + scripts. +- Create update_xxx_table_8_to_9 scripts for updatedb +- Move the -lcrypt for PostgreSQL after the PostgreSQL libs in + autoconf/bacula-macros/db.m4 as suggested by user. Fixes bug #457. +- Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested + by user. Fixes bug #456. +- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!! + +Major Changes in 1.38: +- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore. +- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive + autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger + resource in the Storage daemon. +- There is a new database format that is not compatible + with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting + from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30. +- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are + Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. + All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. +- Support for ANSI/IBM labels. +- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into + the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up. +- Python Event support has been added. See below for + configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal, + so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface + has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA. +- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in + the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks + to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still + BETA and should be carefully tested before using in + production. +- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource: + ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir, + and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details. +- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file + records have been removed from the catalog. +- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level). +- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks + to Landon Fuller. +- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any + other Pool when a new Volume is needed. +- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data + to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually, + any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it + also be used to group jobs. +- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel) +- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to + backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel). + A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly + turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource. +- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham). +- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer). +- SQLite3 support. +- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances, + is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management + level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs. +- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized + in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat. + +New Directives: +- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the + SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid + Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available, + it will select the first available drive. +- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits + cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use + Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\'' + Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that + is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you + want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as + storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the + default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees + that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=... + ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental + and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full. + A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible + to recurse. +- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3): + - WildDir xxx + Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not + be matched). + - WildFile xxx + Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not + be matched). + - RegexDir xxx + Will do a regular expression match against directories (files + will not be matched). + - RegexFile xxx + Will do a regular expression match against files( directories + will not be matched). + - IgnoreCase = yes | no + Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches. + This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant. + - FsType = string + where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc, + reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3 + systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives + and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type + specified on the fstype directive does not match the + filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will + not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent + backing up non-local filesystems. + - HFS Plus Support = yes | no + If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored. +- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula + Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource. + If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take + precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD. +- Check Labels = yes | no + Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read + ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume + is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will + check the label type. +- Scripts Directory = name. Defines the directory from + which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula + appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories, + so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories. +- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have + a lot, it can be very expensive), by using: + HardLinks = no + in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks. +- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource) + Defines the maximum part size. +- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource) + Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it + must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives + must be defined in the same Device resource: + + Mount Point = directory + Directory where the device must be mounted. + + Mount Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command + is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the + Mount Point. + + Unmount Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the + command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and + %m with the Mount Point. + + Write Part Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before + the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m + with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), + and %v with the current part filename. + + Free Space Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left + on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with + the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part + number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. +- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource) + If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be + created after the job is finished. +- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter + of the manual. + +New Commands: +- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make + sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change + a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script. + +New configure options: +- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for + the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required. +- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed + 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. +- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line + if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be + automatically detected if in the standard place. +- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that + can be ignored. +- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your + old database. After installation, run from your scripts + directory: + + ./upgrade_bacula_tables + + You can also find this script in the /src/cats + directory. +- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are + Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. + All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. +- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if + you want TLS communications encryption support. +- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in + all cases, so it is turned off. +- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an + AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that + generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault. + Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The + solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is + turned on (normally it is -O2). + This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with + gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on + an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all + users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when + compiling. + + +Other Items Fixed: +- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during + ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk. +- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory, + which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and + Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed + (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs + program must be patched using the + /patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch + You must have Python installed to run the scripts. +- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple + 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. diff --git a/docs/techlogs/RN-1.38.9 b/docs/techlogs/RN-1.38.9 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..cd988ac3 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/techlogs/RN-1.38.9 @@ -0,0 +1,732 @@ + + Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.9 + + Bacula code: Total files = 419 Total lines = 137,078 (*.h *.c *.in) + 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3 + +Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater: +- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case + in wild-card comparions.

The fix + was suggested by the user. +- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more + portability. +- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for + more portability. +- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather + than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems. +- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in + as reported by a user. + +!!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + In Bacula version 1.38.5 and prior, there was apparently a + compiler bug that caused the Storage daemon to seg fault. + I have applied a workaround in version 1.38.6 and greater that + seems to work. If you experience problems, follow the instructions + below. + + If you are compiling for a 64 bit machine, you need to ensure + that the code is compiled with the -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise + the SD will crash on most all operations -- apparently due to + a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit code generation. +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + + +New features for 1.38.8: +- Regex, RegexFile, and RegexDir are now implemented in the + Win32 FD. However, this is new experimental code that is + largely untested. It may not work, it may cause memory + leaks, or it may even crash the FD. Please test carefully + before using. +- On Linux/Unix systems there are two new programs, bregex + and bwild that allow you to test regular expressions and + wild-cards. These programs are installed with the other + binaries. They are not available on Win32 systems. + +Fixes: +- See below. + +New Features from pre-1.38.8 releases: +- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if + no appendable Volumes are available. +- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for + documentation. +- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =', + which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can + be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot + correctly detect the DVD. +- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory. +- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the + name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers + as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers + to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each + job. +- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways + of displaying the information. +- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids. +- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They + are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn. +- Add two new console commands: enable job= and + disable job=. When a job is disabled, it will not + be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart + Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled. +- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no". +- There is a new program named regex in the tools directory that + allows you to try regular expressions on your system. + +Major bug fixes: +- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where + both drives want the same Volume. +- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console + if it is not in ACL. +- Writable FIFOs now work for restore. +- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands. +- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers + should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names, + update slots use correct StorageId). +- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed + while in the reservation process. + + +Minor bug fixes: +- See below: + +Release 1.38.8 (14Apr06) +14Apr06 +- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh +- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh +- Abort if a conf resource does not have a Name = +12Apr06 +- Change the name of the regex program to bregex. +- Add the bwild program to the tools directory.

Ensure that SD message thread + terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy + SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local + mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor + use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs. +- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in + lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing. +- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with + multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list. +- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique. +- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations + system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c. + This could possibly fix bug #543. +- Stop SD command loop if job is canceled. + +Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06 +04Mar06 +- The po files should now be current. +- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the + buffers in all cases. +- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object). +- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname + to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to + be the numeric (non-unique) job id. +- Allow listing by any of the above. +- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time + and rates with suffexes. +- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items. +- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by + Bacula. +- Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid. +- Add ACL checking for the dot commands. +- Fix restore of writable FIFOs. +- Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early. + +26Feb06 +- Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls +- Update the po files at Eric's request. + +Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06 +25Feb06 +- Add sql_use_result() define. + +Changes to 1.38.6-beta1 +- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL. +- Add virtual disk autochanger code. +- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work + correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks. +- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage(). +- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably + trashed the stack. +- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode + exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search + for a Scratch Volume. +- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix. +- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning. +- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected. +- Check that user supplied a value before referencing + it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian. +- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code. +- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when + updating all volumes in a Pool. +- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr. +- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that + two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time. +- Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape, + dvd, and fifo. +- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across + a re-open to change read/write permission on a device. +- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger + scripts. +- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable. +- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds + up restore tree building and reduces the memory load. +- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from + the Scratch Pool. +- Implement additional command line options for update Volume. +- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating + all Volumes in a pool. + +Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06: +- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka. +- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk + so that SD will by default have access to tape drives. +- Allow users to specify user/group and start options + for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file. + +Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06: +- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon, + thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the + same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32 + FD or later. +- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One + list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other + lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...). +- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory + pool by releasing free buffers. +- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c +- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5. +- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the + number of items goes to zero. +- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level + so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before + waiting. +- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built + and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system. + These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve + a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple + messages will generally print for each JobId because they + represent the different problems with either the same drive + or different drives. If this output proves too confusing + of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1 + or greater is enabled in the SD. +- Add enable/disable job=. This command prevents + the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled, + the job can be manually started from the console. +- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the + StorageId is zero (old Media records). +- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned + slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer. +- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs. +- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the + drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes + Arno's changer bug. +- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time. +- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file + differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h + hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c + util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto + upgrades. +- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The + incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking + routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed + from under the walk routines. + + +Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06: +- 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.

Fixes bug #457. +- Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested + by user. Fixes bug #456. +- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!! + +Major Changes in 1.38: +- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore. +- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive + autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger + resource in the Storage daemon. +- There is a new database format that is not compatible + with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting + from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30. +- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are + Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. + All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. +- Support for ANSI/IBM labels. +- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into + the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up. +- Python Event support has been added. See below for + configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal, + so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface + has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA. +- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in + the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks + to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still + BETA and should be carefully tested before using in + production. +- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource: + ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir, + and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details. +- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file + records have been removed from the catalog. +- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level). +- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks + to Landon Fuller. +- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any + other Pool when a new Volume is needed. +- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data + to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually, + any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it + also be used to group jobs. +- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel) +- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to + backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel). + A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly + turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource. +- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham). +- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer). +- SQLite3 support. +- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances, + is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management + level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs. +- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized + in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat. + +New Directives: +- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the + SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid + Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available, + it will select the first available drive. +- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits + cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use + Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\'' + Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that + is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you + want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as + storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the + default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees + that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=... + ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental + and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full. + A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible + to recurse. +- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3): + - WildDir xxx + Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not + be matched). + - WildFile xxx + Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not + be matched). + - RegexDir xxx + Will do a regular expression match against directories (files + will not be matched). + - RegexFile xxx + Will do a regular expression match against files( directories + will not be matched). + - IgnoreCase = yes | no + Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches. + This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant. + - FsType = string + where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc, + reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3 + systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives + and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type + specified on the fstype directive does not match the + filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will + not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent + backing up non-local filesystems. + - HFS Plus Support = yes | no + If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored. +- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula + Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource. + If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take + precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD. +- Check Labels = yes | no + Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read + ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume + is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will + check the label type. +- Scripts Directory = name. Defines the directory from + which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula + appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories, + so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories. +- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have + a lot, it can be very expensive), by using: + HardLinks = no + in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks. +- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource) + Defines the maximum part size. +- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource) + Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it + must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives + must be defined in the same Device resource: + + Mount Point = directory + Directory where the device must be mounted. + + Mount Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command + is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the + Mount Point. + + Unmount Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the + command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and + %m with the Mount Point. + + Write Part Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before + the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m + with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), + and %v with the current part filename. + + Free Space Command = name-string + Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left + on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with + the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part + number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. +- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource) + If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be + created after the job is finished. +- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter + of the manual. + +New Commands: +- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make + sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change + a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script. + +New configure options: +- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for + the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required. +- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed + 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. +- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line + if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be + automatically detected if in the standard place. +- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that + can be ignored. +- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your + old database. After installation, run from your scripts + directory: + + ./upgrade_bacula_tables + + You can also find this script in the /src/cats + directory. +- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are + Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. + All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. +- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if + you want TLS communications encryption support. +- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in + all cases, so it is turned off. +- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an + AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that + generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault. + Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The + solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is + turned on (normally it is -O2). + This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with + gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on + an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all + users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when + compiling. + + +Other Items Fixed: +- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during + ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk. +- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory, + which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and + Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed + (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs + program must be patched using the + /patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch + You must have Python installed to run the scripts. +- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple + 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. diff --git a/docs/techlogs/kes-1.38 b/docs/techlogs/kes-1.38 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..230b083c --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/techlogs/kes-1.38 @@ -0,0 +1,626 @@ + Technical notes on version 1.38 + Kern Sibbald + +General: +Release 1.38.11 (28Jun06) released 28JunO6 +28Jun06 +- Add test for IRIX64 as OS +- Fix scheduler hang during clock shift (due to missing unlock()) +- Minor tweaks to bregex.c +- Fix to block.c to correctly check for DVD number of parts. +- Fix to dev.c to permit DVD seeking in spool file.
