Hi,

I'm experiencing a very odd bareos-dir config error which I don't understand so I'm hoping someone has inspiration:

From systemctl I get:

Jun 25 15:15:01 helva bareos-dir[100498]: bareos-dir: CONFIG ERROR at dird/inc_conf.cc:977
Jun 25 15:15:01 helva bareos-dir[100498]: Config error: Keyword FileSet not permitted in this resource
Jun 25 15:15:01 helva bareos-dir[100498]:             : line 6, col 8 of file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/fileset/GreyareaDNSSystem.conf
Jun 25 15:15:01 helva bareos-dir[100498]: FileSet {
Jun 25 15:15:01 helva systemd[1]: bareos-director.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=42/n/a

The file mentioned is completely unexceptional, and if I remove it, the same error happens to the next file in the directory.

##############################################################
#
# Fileset for backup of: Greyarea-nvr
#
#

FileSet {
  Name = "GreyareaDNSSystem"

  Include {
    Options {
      signature = SHA1
      sparse = yes
      compression = LZ4
      wilddir = /home/*/.gvfs
    }
    File = /
    File = /boot
    File = /var
  }
}

Other files in the fileset directory include:

BareosCatalog.conf,   Bareos.conf,   Catalog.conf, 
GreyareaDNSHome.conf,            GreyareaDNSSystem.conf, 
Greyarea-git Gogs.conf,          Greyarea-git Home.conf, 
Greyarea-git Repositories.conf,  GreyareaHome.conf, 
GreyareaNVRHome.conf,            GreyareaNVRSystem.conf, 
Greyarea-post Home.conf,
...

When I try the debug option ("bareos-dir -d2000") things proceed as expected until:

Just in case, I have also recompiled bareos from git sources:

 $  mkdir bareos-release; cd bareos-release
 $ 
 $  curl -OL <broadcom vmware vixlib download url> ‡
 $  tar xfz VMware-vix-disklib-8.0.2-22388865.x86_64.tar.gz
 $ 
 $  export VIXDISKLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS=$PWD/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/include/
 $  export VIXDISKLIB_LIBRARIES=$PWD/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib/lib64
 $  export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck
 $ 
 $  git clone https://github.com/bareos/bareos.git
 $  cd bareos
 $  git switch -c origin/23.99
 $  devtools/prepare_release.sh 23.99.0
 $  debuild -b -us -uc -eVIXDISKLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS -eVIXDISKLIB_LIBRARIES

 ‡ You have to register/login to broadcom and download the package from there.

However, the new package behaves identically to the old one (23.0.4~pre56.5de4c8180-98) so I'm no better off :(

Any ideas?


Ruth

the file that is parsed before the one the error is displayed for is
missing a closing brace.
You can run "sudo -u bareos bareos-dir -t -d 100" which will print
debugging output including the files the parser opens to figure out
which file is bad.

Hello Ruth,

the problem is in this line:

> bareos-dir (1000): lib/lex.cc:355-0 fget line=15     File = /var/lib/mysql/MetaGogs.sql"

You have a trailing double quote but no double quote at the beginning of the Value for File.

The config line should be like this:

File = "/var/lib/mysql/MetaGogs.sql"
-------^


Best regards,

Philipp
