Note that for FreeBSD, there is a pthreads library problem on at least one drive that causes substantial data loss at the end of media (on the order of 10 65K blocks). This means that you should either force Bacula to stop writing before the end of the tape or carefully test the end of media handling with your drive using the fill command in the btape program. ## Supported Clients In addition to the list of servers above, the client (File daemon) has been built and tested on: Win95/98/Me/XP/NT/2000 Irix MacOSX ## Other Systems Finally, Bacula has been compiled and shown to run on the following systems, but we are unsure if it is in production: AIX OpenBSD BSDI ## Other Systems If you would like Bacula to run on another system, please do not hesitate to contact us as we are interested to increase the number of systems supported. Send your request as defined in the Support menu item. You might also take a look at the Porting Notes chapter of the manual. If you do decide to do a port, please announce it to the Bacula-users list to avoid duplication of effort and to receive some guidance.
