Incremental Consolidate hangs

[adam bates]

Hi,

I have a number of always incremental jobs running on my bareos server. Unfortunately when it is time to consolidate the incrementals (not full consolidate) the jobs hang because two jobs are started by the consolidate job at once. These both need the same volume and so both hang waiting on storage. They both want to reserve the same storage device.

Any ideas how to restrict consolidate jobs to running one at a time? (max full consolidations doesn't help as they aren't full consolidations)

Did you ever figure out a solution?

I have had this issue the entire time ran Bareos and just been forced to only allow 1 job at a time, but I would love to spool multiple jobs for remote clients on slow connections.

No. I've been on holiday, but back to it now. I'll let you know.

Hi Brock,

If it is still of interest, I think I solved this for my system. I discovered the problem was caused by the job writing a consolidate to a volume. The next day it needed to read that consolidate file to do the next consolidation, but the volume was still not full, so it also tried to write to the same volume. I stopped this by putting a ‘volume use duration’ of 20 hours, so even if the volume is not full, it will not be used to write the next day.

Regards.
