does anybody know if it is possible to let bacula split volume files
when you use disk storage? We think it might have a big impact on
performance when you tell bacula to have several files with the size
of...let's say 5gb each instead of one huge 230gb file.
Yes. Look at the Pool parameters. I use this:
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1GB
Wops. I completely overlooked this. But I guess in order to use this
parameter you have to let Bacula automatically create volumes in the
pool, don't you?
No, not AFAIK, you can still create volumes manually. Not very
practical, but you could.
Hm I never had the intention to create volumes manually...but actually
bacuala didn't try to add volumes to the pool by itself at all. Did I
overlook something? Automatic labeling is enabled in the
bacula-configuration(s) but after bacula hit the max-volume-bytes limit
it simply stopped (complaining about "Cannot find any appendable
volumes"). Is there anything else that I have to activate in order to
get this feature up and running? FYI, I'm running bacula 1.38.11 with
mysql.
And yes, smaller disk volumes are better than HUGE ones.
To split existing volumes up? I don't know.
Well the manual (now that a know where to look) says that at least you
can update this setting for existing volumes with the 'update volume'
command on the console. So I assume that Bacula will recycle the old
huge volume, notice the new limit and create as many volumes as needed
during the next backup run.
More or less, yes.
