[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#679479: Bug#679479: bacula-fd fails to start because network is not initialized

[Alexander Golovko]

Hi!

Sorry for reply delay.

There is not a bug, so all we can do - add some information about this 
case into README.Debian.


You can try one of next workarounds:

1. Allow bacula-fd to listen on all addresses - remove line "FDAddress 
= .." or change it to "FDAddress = 0.0.0.0"


2. If you always get the same IP-address from dhcp, then you can add 
record for faerun.epperly.home into /etc/hosts or specify IP address in 
bacula-fd.conf.
In such case bacula-fd correctly start and will be available on this 
address after actual network configuration.


3. You can disable autostart of bacula-fd service (update-rc.d 
bacula-fd disable) and start it later after network configuration by 
dhclient or network-manager.

If network interface configured from /etc/network/interfaces and you 
use dhclient (not udcpc or other), than create executable 
/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/bacula with content
invoke-rc.d bacula-fd restart

(see man dhclient-script for details)

If network interface configured by NetworkManager directly, than create 
executable /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/bacula with content
if [ "$1" = "eth1" -a "$2" = "up" ]; then invoke-rc.d bacula-fd 
restart; fi

(see man network-manager for details)
