[Bacula-users] director memleak calling "status Director"

[Wolfgang B. <wb...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm running bacula 2.2.7 RPMs from F. Schwarz on CentOS 5.1. I'm using 
mysql-server from CentOS and UNIX Socket connections.

Everything was pretty fine and working until I added "*all*" ACL Lines to 
allow tray-monitor to access the director status...

The config section looks like....
Console {
   Name = <hostname>-mon
   Password = "<pw>"
   CommandACL = status, .status
   CatalogACL = *all*
   JobACL = *all*
   ClientACL = *all*
   StorageACL = *all*
   ScheduleACL = *all*
   PoolACL = *all*
   FileSetACL = *all*
}
... now.

My problem is now, that bacula-director seems to have a huge memleak 
somewhere eating ~200kByte per request of tray-monitor. bacula-director 
used all of my 2GB+2GB Swap in a few hours and failed to do SQL queries and 
to send mail.

I did some investigations and it seems that the bconsole command "status 
Director" causes this.

Every time I issue it in bconsole bacula-director grows in size like that....
bacula   24165  0.0  7.1 207652 146828 ?       Ssl  10:48   0:05 
/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -u bacula -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
bacula   24165  0.0  7.1 207908 147004 ?       Ssl  10:48   0:05 
/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -u bacula -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
bacula   24165  0.0  7.1 208036 147180 ?       Ssl  10:48   0:05 
/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -u bacula -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
bacula   24165  0.0  7.1 208164 147356 ?       Ssl  10:48   0:05 
/usr/sbin/bacula-dir -u bacula -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

I've already tried to remove the ACLs again, but it only confirmed that's 
not an issue of the ACLs since calling "status Director" in bconsole still 
leaks memory.
