Hi,

After the backup I wanted to browse the contents of the directory from the WebUI level but I get the message "Oops, something went wrong, probably too many files."
I am using the latest version of UI from the repo for Debian 9

Regards

Daniel

Hi,

I saw the error several time on my system, too. I use Ubuntu Server 16.04 and bareos 17.2.4. But the restore seems to be completed, no files are missing. So I think it es only a problem with showing the files in WebUI.

I've seen it in the last several versions. I added my comments to a bug on it but have heard nothing.

Hey guys,

we are having the same issue with two separate Bareos 17.2.4 servers. One is a fresh install, the other one has been upgraded from 16.2.4 to 17.2.4. The error occurs as soon as we want to display the content of a bigger directory in the file selection tree. Bigger means the folder contains more than like 100 files or so. That's annoying considering you have a really big directory of which you can't see the content so you are forced to restore the whole thing in case of emergency.

Additionally I didn't expect to always get a restore of the whole directory if I mark just one file in it to be restored. Did you experience that aswell? Or is it normal behaviour and I'm missing something?

About what Ticket you are talking?
https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=887 ? I think, the issues should be
fixed by now (in the source code).

This is the report I added a comment to. https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=803. As of 17.2.4 the webui simply spins and errors out with "maybe too many files". The 887 issue says it will eventually show the files but takes a very, very long time. I and the reporter of 803 never get any files listed. If 17.2.5 is released I can upgrade and see what happens.

I also reported the issue of not being able to display in bug
https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=891

It is slightly different as I do not get a long spinner. within a few
seconds it displays whatever it is going to.

Also notice that it works better on my Linux machines that on my windows
machine.

Also notice that one of my directories is over 11,000 files in multiple
sub directories but I have others that are just a few files (less that
10) that will not display.

Also Jens, If I mark one file I only get that file for restore.

Also I have tried a restore using bconsole, and it worked correctly on
offending directory.

After the initial response I have heard nothing.

Hi,

just in case someone still struggles with the "Oops, something went wrong, probably too many files" issue when trying to open directories with a lot of files or some really big files in Bareos Webui Restore tree, this commit fixes the problem, atleast for me:

https://github.com/bareos/bareos-webui/commit/ee232a6f04eaf2a7c1084fee981f011ede000e8a

Thanks to fbergkemper

I do have a question regarding the restore of a whole directory instead
of just the selected file.

What type of OS and DB is in use in that case?

Hello Frank,

we noticed it on two independent servers with CentOS 7 and MariaDB (MySQL).

Same issue (## PB2): https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bareos-users/MiAzxqhUVx8

Unfortunately, it did not work here on 17.2.4. After a very, very long time it gave me the oops error.

If I understand things correctly, this should help: https://github.com/bareos/bareos-webui/commit/a562e5fee9adc19ebdec86c4f75f9ee6bd7f5d86

That helped some. I can now get the list of directories and their files and move into them in the tree. Sometimes it hangs and won't open a directory giving me the oops error but then if I go back and click again it works.

I just replaced (after saving the originals) my files with the two from Github.

I found a solution to my problem of Web-ui not displaying directories and files.
I submitted to bareos bug tracker on bug 0000891.
Hopefully the Bareos team will consider the possible fix.

have a good day.

Bugreport 891 was related to 893, which already has been fixed. The
missing relation between those is now set in our bugtracker, thanks anyways.
