Summary0001598: Bareos 23.0.1 creates new Volume in catalog but no physical File volume in storage
DescriptionI ran into the issue that Bareos 23.0.1 created a new Volume in catalog but no physical File volume in storage.

This happend during a running backup job when the Pool reached its limit of the configured "Maximum Volumes". The job then got stuck because no free volume was available - message in the job log:

26 2024-02-09 06:25:40 truenas-sd JobId 35326: Job filebackup-s01-fd.2024-02-09_01.00.00_16 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "FileStorageTrueNAS0002" (/var/lib/bareos/storage)
Pool: Incremental
Media type: File

I then increased the "Maximum Volumes" in the Pool config file and issued a "reload" command in bconsole to load the changed configuration.
The job then continued and created a new Volume - message in the job log:

27 2024-02-09 09:51:01 bareos-dir JobId 35326: Created new Volume "Incremental-0920" in catalog.

But Bareos 23.0.1 created the new Volume only in the catalog but no physical File volume in storage. This lead to this error:

28 2024-02-09 09:51:01 truenas-sd JobId 35326: Warning: stored/mount.cc:248 Open device "FileStorageTrueNAS0002" (/var/lib/bareos/storage) Volume "Incremental-0920" failed: ERR=stored/dev.cc:598 Could not open: /var/lib/bareos/storage/Incremental-0920, ERR=No such file or directory

Just to confirm: you didn't do the update pool from resource command after your reload right ?

I edited the config file /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/pool/Incremental.conf with a text editor and increased the "Maximum Volumes".
Then I started bconsole and issued the "reload" command.
I did not do the update pool from resource command after the "reload" command in bconsole.

Hi we would like to check if its something new. We tried to reproduce the case and the software is working as expected.
Increase pool limit, reload, and a new volume is created and then used.

We would like to see the full joblog, which you can extract with (then compress and attach here)
bconsole <<< "list joblog jobid=35326" > /var/tmp/jobid_35326.log

We have seen in the past, similar issue, but mostly it was because at the time of creating the volume the /var/lib/bareos/storage mount point was not available, and your error looks really similar.
Otherwise the sd would have created that file and would have failed later being not able to read the label.
It maybe be worse the effort to double check system's logs happening at incident time.
Here the SD can't access the file (so the directory).

I attached the full joblog as requested.

I checked the system's logs of the storage server and it doesn't show any errors during that time.
Later (on Feb 13th) the storage server created new volumes successfully without any changes to config or access rights:

I guess the special circumstance here was that the job was running and waiting for a new volume because it ran out of empty/recyclable volumes. And I increased pool limit while the job was running and waiting.

Thanks for the log.

You assumption "I guess the special circumstance here was that the job was running and waiting for a new volume because it ran out of empty/recyclable volumes. And I increased pool limit while the job was running and waiting." is what we tested and tried to reproduce without seeing any failures :-( unfortunately as it is more harder to fix something that doesn't failed, or only on unknown circonstances.

I'm seeing root@truenas-sd is the SD detached from the dir ?

Yes, baros-dir is running in a VM with AlmaLinux release 8.9 (Midnight Oncilla)

Thank for the details, this may help to reproduce the case.

Are you able to reproduce it easily ( maybe creating a dumb pool with low allowed volumes, and run small job on it to recreate the situation ) ?

I was able to reproduce it with another pool with low allowed volumes and a small job.
See attached job log.

This time at first nothing happened when I ran the "reload" command in bconsole. The job did not continue and was stuck at

2024-02-15 09:15:52 truenas-sd JobId 35413: Job migrate.2024-02-15_09.10.03_01 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "FileStorageTrueNAS0001" (/var/lib/bareos/storage)
Pool: Migrate
Media type: File

When I ran the "reload" command in bconsole a second time the job did continue and ran into the same issue.

Hi, I'm failing to reproduce yet the case. In the meantime

what is the output of
bconsole <<< "llist volume=Migrate-0950"

Would you mind to rerun the test job with the following set before

bconsole <<< "setdebug level=100 trace=1 timestamp=1 storage=FileStorageTrueNAS0001"

after the job you can remove the debug level

bconsole <<< "setdebug level=0 trace=0 timestamp=0 storage=FileStorageTrueNAS0001"

then check on the storage in /var/lib/bareos and join compressed the trace file there (can be removed afterwards)

Hi, I collected the information you wanted.

I could not collect the output of
bconsole <<< "llist volume=Migrate-0950"
since I deleted that test volume already. But I collected the output for the newly failed volume "Migrate-0956" instead.

I had to change
bconsole <<< "setdebug level=100 trace=1 timestamp=1 storage=FileStorageTrueNAS0001"
to
bconsole <<< "setdebug level=100 trace=1 timestamp=1 storage=File"
because "FileStorageTrueNAS0001" is the name of the device not the name of the storage.
The storage daemon is using five devices to write jobs in parallel but the issue also happens when only one job is running.
I attached the config files of the storage daemon - maybe they help to reproduce the issue.

how is mounted /var/lib/storage/ ?

I created a mount point for the bareos jail which mounts a path from TrueNAS data pool to /var/lib/bareos/storage/ inside the jail.

I just realized that I forgot to mention the bareos storage daemon installed in the bareos jail is "bareos-server-23.0.1_1.pkg" from the official FreeBSD repository

Would you mind to test if this is the case with the official Bareos package available here
https://download.bareos.org/current/FreeBSD_13.2/

You can use our helper script to get the repo installed https://download.bareos.org/current/FreeBSD_13.2/add_bareos_repositories.sh

Thanks for the feed back. I will skip the effort of switching to the Bareos repository for now.

 Hello everybody,

I have a similar problem, today I reduce the MAX Volumes in the pool file
After editing the files I ran the "reload" command in bconsole and updated all volumes by running the commands update -> 1 -> 13
Somehow in BareosUI it still shows the old values and if I do the command update -> 2 -> 1 (choosing one of the pools) it still shows me the old value.

Hi Bruno,

I'm sorry if this is different then the original bug.

But there is any procedure to reduce the maxumum volumes?

At this moment I don't need so many volumes.

Thank you
