Disk is treated the same as tape. Bacula does not mount the tapes and
erase them, and it does not truncate or delete the disk files either when you
delete the catalog entry or mark the catalog entry recycled.

If you use the Bacula delete command, it will delete the Volume from the
catalog, but it remains on disk. If you "relabel" a volume, Bacula will
truncate the disk file -- it does the same on a tape.
