I want to manually recycle a volume and I did like the manual said:

*purge jobs volume=000129
This command is can be DANGEROUS!!!
It purges (deletes) all Files from a Job,
JobId, Client or Volume; or it purges (deletes)
all Jobs from a Client or Volume without regard
for retention periods. Normally you should use the
PRUNE command, which respects retention periods.

But this is already taking over half an hour and mysqld takes lots of CPU. Is
that normal? Is a "purge jobs volume=..." an expensive database operation?
Our catalog has 3 or 4 gigs.
Catalog size is one thing... equally important is the machine this runs
on, if it's got other uses as well, and so on.
Just wanted to ask if I should wait or look for any problems.
Just wait.
Purging etc. _can_ take quite a while, which is one reason why I prefer
it done automatically - I just don't notice it usually, and there should
never be a huge amount of data do delete. Searching for out-of-retention
information still takes its time, of course.
