Re: [Bacula-users] Fatal error: askdir.c:339 NULL Volume name. This shouldn't happen!!!

[Stephen T. <st...@se...>]

Well, since we upgraded to 5.2.9 we have not seen the problem.
Also when running 5.2.6 we were seeing it 2-3 times a week, during which 
we run hundreds of incrementals and several fulls per day.
The error happened both with fulls and incrementals (which we have in 
two different LTO3 libraries).  There was nothing amiss with our catalog 
or volumes, or at least nothing obvious.  The error occurred when 
attempting to use different volumes (mostly previously used ones, 
including recycled), but those same volume were successful for other 
jobs that attempted to use them.  Lastly, it wasn't reproducible, like I 
said it happened 2-3 time out of several hundred jobs, but it was 
happening over the course of a month or two while we ran 5.2.6 on RedHat 
6.2.

Here was our config for 5.2.6
