Okay, bacula seems to do two things that I believe are configured to not
happen. It's probably me, so clue me in here:
1. It isn't recycling a volume that is way past it's retension time
2. It keep creating new volumes that don't exist. I think this is
controlled by "LabelMedia" ? That's a fairly misleading function...
Someone clue me in where I'm going wrong here?
Without actually going through your configuration:
Bacula only recycles a volumewhen it really needs to, i.e. when there is
(almost) no other way for it to continue.
Your best thing to do might be to limit the number of volumes in the
pools. After that, bacula will reuse the existing volumes when the
available space fills.
At least it does in existing configurations :-)

Current Volume "liz5" not acceptable because:
1998 Volume "liz5" status is Full, but should be Append, Purged or
Recycle.
However, "list media" shows that it's way past retention time...
