bpipe problems

[Matt Ivie]

I'm trying to utilize bpipe and no matter what I do I get an error:

"JobId 32417: Fatal error: bpipe-fd: Error closing stream for pseudo
file /MYSQL/dump.sql: 268435664"

I have followed the documentation have tried encapsulating my mysqldump
reader commands in a script and referencing the script instead. It
doesn't seem to make a difference either way.

I'm running Bareos on debian buster 16.2.6 on both the server and
client machines.

My Fileset directive is:

FileSet {
Name = "goldeneye"
Description = "Local Backup files for GoldenEye"
Include {
Plugin = "bpipe:file=/MYSQL/dump.sql:reader=mysqldump -uroot -p'password' zm:writer=mysql -uroot -p'password'"
Options {
compression = GZIP
Signature = MD5
}
File = /etc
}
}

My client conf is:

Client {
Name = goldeneye-fd
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

# remove comment from "Plugin Directory" to load plugins from specified directory.
# if "Plugin Names" is defined, only the specified plugins will be loaded,
# otherwise all storage plugins (*-fd.so) from the "Plugin Directory".
#
Plugin Directory = /usr/lib/bareos/plugins
Plugin Names = "bpipe"

# if compatible is set to yes, we are compatible with bacula
# if set to no, new bareos features are enabled which is the default
# compatible = yes
}


I have tried everything I can think of to get this working and tried to follow the documentation as close as possible. I'm having no luck with this thing.

Any thoughts?

Definitely not sure if this is a fix for your problem, but 16.2.6 seems to be almost 5 years old - any chance you can try on the newest?

Thanks for the really quick reply firstly. I am not ruling that
possibility out of course, but I'd like a very specific reason showing
why to upgrade. My worry is I go through all of the upgrade trouble
just to see it didn't help.
