You can do a bscan and find out how many files are on it. Then you can update the number in the catalog to match how many are actually on the volume and voila, the volume works perfectly again.
>>> Gabriele Bulfon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/01/2006 09:19 >>> I discovered the misterious delay issue, connected to the strange pruning / recycle behaviours. I am no more sure about my manual purge, so, I will accept your conclusion about my Files Mismatch happenging. As suggested by some user some time ago, I had some installations with a "RunBeforeScript" that runs a "stat dir" and a "mount" of the QUANTUM device. This seems to force the Recycle / Purge routines, just before running the first job. If not run, the Recycle seems to happen at Bacula random desires, maybe after some hours of Intervention Needed. So I just placed the same script on this mysterious installation, and things keep going good again. Thanx to the one that suggested the script. Gabriele. Gabriele Bulfon - Sonicle S.r.l.

I am almost sure that, at the time the error was encountered, the volume was not purged. Simply because, after a volume is purged in the catalog, Bacula will not fast forward to the EOD on tape and thereby count the file marks on the tape and compare it to the value stored in the catalog. Instead, it will simply rewind the tape and start with a new volume label and, at the same time, set the catalog info accordingly. You seem to have a very mysterious Bacula running - again things happen mysteriously...
