#3392 Volumes in Pool not Shown

[Nuno Higgs]

Hello,

I have opensuse 11.1 on i686 and the latest webmin.
However if i try to see the volumes existing in a pool (if more than around 5 volumes), it gives me a blank screen.
I activated the debug on webmin, but it does not give me any information. I
I dug a little deeper, and observed using top that the /poolstatus_form.cgi reaches for a few seconds around 99% and then in it's place a defunct perl or miniserv.pl is shown.
The bacula installed is 2.4.8 and using the cli interface of bacula i can see the volumes in a pool

I have duplicated the error on another system. A RHEL.
I have found that the problem apparently is when you have a lot of volumes assigned to the same pool.
Is there a limit on the number of volumes that webmin can display? Is there any way to tweak this?

This could be an issue with Webmin parsing the bacula console output.

If you run the command "llist volumes pool=XXX" at the console (where XXX is the pool name), what does it output? And does it output all the volumes at once, or do you need to hit enter to go to the next page?

When i use the command in bconsole it shows me the entire list of volumes in that pool.
It shows all the volumes ate once an I dont need to hit enter to got to the next page.

PS: i have a *LOT* of volumes to display. Is there a limitation on how much information can be displayed?

I have now found that i have a similar error on the "Backup and Restore Actions" > "Run Backup Job" and there goes the .cgi over 90% on top.

If i have a small job list it outputs no problem (on test system)

[Jamie Cameron]

How many is a lot exactly? The cause may be that Webmin's parsing of the output is inefficient for really large lists of volumes..

[Nuno Higgs]

Volumes in that pool: 49

On the "Run Backup Job" problem i have 69 jobs

Thanks
