Hi,

I use a pool with 6 tapes for weekly full backup, each full backup needs 3
tapes. Retention worked fine for the last few weeks, the expected volumes
were used (volume retention 9 days, week 1 volume Bang1/2/3, week 2 volume
Bang3/4/5...). Today I got the notification about the upcoming jobs this
weekend:

Full   11-Mär-06  19:00  Bang            Bang5-2006-02-08

Full   11-Mär-06  19:50  BackupCatalog   Bang5-2006-02-08

I was suprised that volume Bang5 should be used as first tape. I changed
the state of the other volumes (4/6) with bconsole to Recycle, but bacula
still wants volume Bang5 as first tape. This is the output from 'list
volumes' (removed some fields to better fit the page).

+----------------+---------+--------------+-----+----+-------------------+

I'm confused by this output, because Bang5 was the second tape of three
tapes that were used for the full backup three weeks ago. I don't know why
volbytes/files show these values.

Looking at the volume state with llist, reports 1970-01-01 01:00:00 as
firstwritten date.

          mediaid: 5
       volumename: Bang5-2006-02-08
             slot: 5
           poolid: 1
        mediatype: AIT-2
     firstwritten: 1970-01-01 01:00:00

        inchanger: 1
          endfile: 66
         endblock: 8,689
         volparts: 0
        labeltype: 0
        storageid: 2

There is one other tape used for a second client that reports this date
too. I checked the syslog entries, but couldn't find anything obvious. The
time entries between 2006-02-18 and 2006-02-19 are all ok.

Any ideas why bacula reports this wrong date?
