hi,
Seems that I can't get recycling to work as expected. Somethimes I have
to manually issue a 'mount' to make Bacula recycle the volume. After
that, the jobs start running emediatly. Othertimes everything works as
expected.
Normaly, when the volum is recycled, I get this messages:
23-Nov 17:09 server-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking
Volume "Wednesday-0001" as Used.
23-Nov 17:10 server-dir: Pruned 6 Jobs on Volume "Wednesday-0001" from
catalog.
23-Nov 17:10 server-dir: Recycled volume "Wednesday-0001"
But this messages is missing the "Recycled" statement:
28-Nov 11:56 server-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking
Volume "Monday-0001" as Used.
28-Nov 11:56 server-dir: Pruned 1 Job on Volume "Monday-0001" from
catalog.
And when the backup job starts, I get this message:
29-Nov 02:00 server-sd: Job ServerFull.2005-11-29_02.00.01 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: Ultrium2
Media type: LTO
Pool: MondayPool
If I open the bacula console and issue a 'mount', everything starts
perfectly...even though I have "AutomaticMount = yes" on the SD.
I'm guessing this is a configuration error, but I have not been able to
track it down. I thought that "Volume Retention" controlled the
recycling, but I might be wrong? Any comments to help me out?
Device definition:
Device {
Name = Ultrium2
Media Type = LTO
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = no
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
}
Pool definitions:
Pool {
Name = MondayPool
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Volume Retention = 6d # Jobs/files retention period will be truncated
to
# this. Makes sure the volume is recycleable
Recycle = Yes # We want to use the same volume next week
AutoPrune = Yes
Label Format = Monday-
Maximum Volumes = 1 # Only one tape allocated for this
}
Pool {
Name = TuesdayPool
Pool Type = Backup
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Volume Retention = 6d # Jobs/files retention period will be truncated
to
# this. Makes sure the volume is recycleable
Recycle = Yes # We want to use the same volume next week
AutoPrune = Yes

Pool Type = Backup
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Volume Retention = 6d # Jobs/files retention period will be truncated

}
Schedule definition:
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyGFS"
Run = Level=Full Pool=MondayPool tuesday at 02:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=TuesdayPool wednesday at 02:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=WednesdayPool thursday at 02:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=ThursdayPool friday at 02:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool 2nd-5th sunday at 02:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=MonthlyPool 1st sunday at 02:00
}
I don't know if this is related, but even if I have defined some pools
to have maximum 1 volume, they are listed with 2...
*list pools
+--------+---------------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+

| 2 | TuesdayPool | 1 | 1 | Backup | Tuesday- |
| 3 | WednesdayPool | 2 | 2 | Backup | Wednesday- |
