Re: [Bacula-users] Max Wait Time sometimes crash Storage Daemon

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello Adam,

If the SD is crashing, then there is definitely a bug and you should open a 
bug report.  It would be preferable if you move up to version 2.2.8 as it 
simplifies things for me in debugging and finding the problems.

Best regards,

Kern
