Hi all,

I have some trouble with volume labeling (Bacula 1.38.5 on CentOS 4.2
with the latest patches). I do my backups to disk only and defined two
jobs that use different storages and pools but the same label format. Do
the following the reproduce the behavior:

Do 10 backups only with the first job. After that try to run the second
job. This will fail with the following error messages:
(...)

create Volume "full_volume0001", but it already exists. Trying again.

create Volume "full_volume0010", but it already exists. Trying again.
25-Feb 22:25 maindirector: testB.2006-02-25_22.25.32 Error: Too many
failures. Giving up creating Volume name.

"list volumes" in the console shows that the names full_volume{1-10}
already exist in pool A - but the second job should use pool B on a
completely different storage device. I expected that Bacula would assign
the name "full_volume0001" two times (one for each pool).

If that is not possible for some reason I think the algorithm should be
smarter not to start always from (# volumes in this pool) + 1.


Is the current behavior a "bug" or a feature?

PS: Jeffrey L. Taylor experienced the same error but obviously nobody
answered
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12059869) and I
did not find any other pointers regarding this problem.
