[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#1012301: bacula: Corruption of File media during concurrent backups

[Julien Chiaramello]

Hello, 

Actually, the bug seems to have disappeared from the tracker. I have, however, noticed an anomaly in the tracker dates - #2648 has been submitted November 2021, while #2649 has been submitted June 2022. Furthermore, I do have the automated messages sent by Mantis with the bug I originally declared, which happened during May 2022, which is between these two dates. I deduce that for some reason, during either the end of May or start of June, the bug tracker may have suffered from some kind of data corruption and backups had to be restored from the end of 2021, losing a few months of bug reports (Which should be around 15-20 bugs if we account for missing IDs), including mine. 

I have included all related Mantis e-mails I received during that period, which includes the original report and comments made by the Bacula team - I have attempted to reconstruct the general meaning of the discussion that we had based on my memory of what I wrote (which did not trigger automated messages) 

-- 

Me : <Initial report> 

ebollengier : Did you reproduce on 11.0.6 or 11.3.3 ? 

Me : No, official Debian packages do not go past 9.6. Do you have an idea on which commits could have fixed the issue ? 

ebollengier : Commit from 22 Oct ("Fix #5461 #5513 #4717 About WroteVol non-zero message") 

Me : This looks like it. Do you have a specific patch corresponding to the commit so that the Debian team can backport the fix to 9.6 ? 

ebollengier : No, we do not support the 9.X versions anymore, there are too many differences with v11 

Me : <Short explanation about Debian keeping major versions frozen during a release but still manually backporting fixes from newer versions> 

The last message was confusing to me, but I never received clarification - probably because the bug disappeared from the tracker.

Hi Julien,

thanks for your bug report. Just one thing - can you confirm the 
upstream bug number? Currently the highest bug number is 2659, so you 
probably have a typo in there. 

Regards 

Carsten
