We blew up one of our servers recently and we wanted to restore backed-up data from a Bacula storage server. The Bacula recovery process states that one needs to create a statically linked bacula-fd daemon in order to start the recovery process but it does not offer a how-to for FreeBSD systems-- only for Linux systems. See: http://www.bacula.org/fr/dev-manual/Disast_Recove_Using_Bacula.html#SECTION0 08233000000000000000 Below is a list of libraries that bacula-fd needs in order to run: root@pisces:/root# ldd /usr/local/sbin/bacula-fd /usr/local/sbin/bacula-fd: libz.so.4 => /lib/libz.so.4 (0x280c6000) libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x280d8000) libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x280ea000) libwrap.so.5 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.5 (0x280f3000) libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x280fa000) libssl.so.5 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.5 (0x281ef000) libcrypto.so.5 => /lib/libcrypto.so.5 (0x2822f000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x2837e000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x2846d000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x28482000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2848c000) How does one go about creating a statically linked bacula-fd? I've googled around and am not getting relevant hits. I checked 'make config' and there isn't any option for creating statically linked file. Could I add one on the fly at the command prompt? If so, what would be the correct syntax? Another way to recover would be to archive the libraries off-site and restore these libraries as part of the recovery process-- putting these libraries in the same directory as the bacula-fd daemon and running it off that folder. However, when I attempt that, it complains of missing libraries. I was told to use ldconfig to add the temporary folder to the system libraries path but I am not having success there either. This is what I used: ldconfig -elf -mv /tmp which according to man ldconfig (if I interpret that correctly) appends the /tmp directory to the existing system libraries path. Does anyone know how to accomplish either of these two methods? ~Doug
