No sooner did I hit send on the above, when two of the three jobs
"suddenly" de-spooled their attributes to tape and completed, so now
I'm back up to 4 running jobs. I'm assuming that since these finally
finished - more than two hours after they de-spooled their data - that
the final one will eventually complete as well. It was a huge backup
though and has a really large attribute file, so if it's sending them
to tape based on size, it may be a while yet.
How does bacula decide when to send the attributes for a job to tape?
When do they get written to the database? Maybe figuring that out will
explain the behavior I'm seeing (which appears to be working - and I'm
just hand-wringing watching for anything going wrong).
