Re: [Bacula-users] Baculum login issue

Your suggestion to clear the bvfs cache has done the trick. The restore wizard now populates with the files list and the path box populates as the directory tree is traversed. I chose one file to test the restore and this completed without error.

You were right that the password change was not significant.

I ran the console commands before and after clearing the cache to see what would happen.

$# bconsole
Connecting to Director 192.168.1.126:9101
1000 OK: 103 homeserver-dir Version: 9.2.1 (12 August 2018)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*.bvfs_update jobid=1353
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
You have messages.
*.bvfs_lsdir jobid=1353 path=/
8193	0	0	0	A A A A A A A A A A A A A A	.
8194	0	0	0	A A A A A A A A A A A A A A	..
52675	0	0	0	A A A A A A A A A A A A A A	ss4200e/
*.bvfs_lsfiles jobid=1353 path=/

*.bvfs_clear_cache yes
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
OK
*.bvfs_update jobid=1353
*.bvfs_lsdir jobid=1353 path=/
8193	0	0	0	A A A A A A A A A A A A A A	.
64460	0	0	0	A A A A A A A A A A A A A A	..
52675	0	0	0	A A A A A A A A A A A A A A	ss4200e/
*.bvfs_lsfiles jobid=1353 path=/
*

As you can see, there is a difference in the second line of .bvfs_lsdir.

I am using MySQL for the Catalog database.

Many thanks for helping to debug this problem.

Chris Wilkinson
