Problems with bareos-fd on Windows 11

[Ruth Ivimey-Cook]

Folks

I'm having problems getting a Windows 10 Pro computer working as a
client. The machine has run bareos-fd successfully in the past but
hasn't been working for a little while. The install is the current
Windows 64 bit v21.

When doing "status client=X" I can see the director is sending SYN
packets to the correct machine. I can also see that the bareos-fd.exe is
also starting up ok because I modified the registry with '-d200 -v' as
in the docs.

The only error-like message related to being unable to open the state
file. However the bconsole status command fails to connect and
eventually times out.

I have tried disabling the Norton firewall, despite also having added
bareos-fd.exe to the allowed programs list but it doesn't make any
difference at all.

Has anyone any idea what's happening?


In case it's helpful this is the trace file:

Does it fail to connect? The debug-log of the FD looks like connect and
auth worked. Could you provide the complete output of the status command?

Do you by any chance have MTU issues?
I remember another really strange issue: I remember a customer having
MTU set to 9000 on the FD, but one of the Switches in between didn't
support it (or it wasn't configured to do so). As a result all small
packages (establish connection, authenticate, etc.) that fit into the
default 1500 Bytes were fine, but everything larger (like an FD's status
response) was lost.

Best Regards,
Andreas
