[Bacula-devel] bacula-fd leaking memory (bacula-1.39.20-20060822)?

[Pasi P. <up...@ce...>]

Hi,

I've been poking around with bacula like a week(ish) now and i do like
it a lot. Yesterday or so i did grab the latest tarball and made SRPM
for me from the previous etmplate and compiled the latest (and
greatest).

When i do testing, i usually do it ridiculous deep like now generating
just for fun a FS where there is some 20+ million inodes multiplied few
hundred of times from small leafnode pool.

What i am trying to backup is

FileSet {
        name = "leafnode"
        Include {
                Options {
                        signature=SHA1
                        hardlinks=no
                }
        File = /leafnode
        }
}

and when i use the current mentioned version, it very soon starts to
grow in size while the bacula-client-1.38.11-3.x86_64 stays steadily at
some 2MB/reserved and 110MB virtual.

As it's above, the system is x86-64 and more detailed, it's
dual-opteron running CentOS-4. So the kernel would be RedHat patched
2.6.9-EL variant, but i don't think it should even matter here.


While i am at it, i'd like to mention that StorageTek T9440A
FC-attached tape-drives are working with bacula just fine. At least
there are no mention on docs for something similar. I do have two of
those ATM at home. 

Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: STK      Model: T9940A           Rev: 1.34
  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 03

These are pretty old and using the 60GB/tape format. 


Any thoughts about the memory leak?
