Hi,

Running bacula 1.38.5 on SLES 9 we have following problem when running a
backup  last night:

10-Mar 23:00 admt-sd: full_backup.2006-03-10_23.00.00 Warning: Director
wanted Volume "full_admt-0017".
    Current Volume "full_admt_0006" not acceptable because:
    1998 Volume "full_admt_0006" status is Used, but should be Append,
Purged or Recycle (cannot automatically recycle current volume, as it
still contains unpruned data).
10-Mar 23:00 admt-sd: Please mount Volume "full_admt-0017" on Storage
Device "DDS-5" (/dev/nst0) for Job full_backup.2006-03-10_23.00.00

The volume full_admt_0006 was last written on 22-Feb and has a retention
time of 10 days. By 10-Mar it was thus well and truly expired. We are
using following DIR settings for the media pool:

Pool {
  Name = full
  Pool Type = Backup
  Maximum Volumes = 50
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 0               # unlimited
  Maximum Volume Files = 0              # unlimited
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 0              # unlimited
  Catalog Files = yes                   # catalog in database
  Recycle = yes                         # automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                       # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 10d
  Volume Use Duration = 12h
  Accept Any Volume = yes               # write on any volume in the pool
  Recycle Current Volume = yes
  LabelFormat = "full_admt-"
}

*llist pools
Using default Catalog name=default DB=bacula
          PoolId: 1
            Name: full
         NumVols: 19
         MaxVols: 50
         UseOnce: 0
      UseCatalog: 1
 AcceptAnyVolume: 1
    VolRetention: 864,000
  VolUseDuration: 43,200
      MaxVolJobs: 0
     MaxVolBytes: 0
       AutoPrune: 1
         Recycle: 1
        PoolType: Backup
     LabelFormat: full_admt-
         Enabled: 1
   ScratchPoolId: 0
   RecyclePoolId: 0
       LabelType: 0

After receiving a mount request I executed a manual "prune" command on the
volume which correctly expired all jobs of the volume. The backup then
continued after issuing a "mount" command.

Q: why didn't Bacula automatically prune the volume data even though
AutoPrune, Recyle and 'Recycle Current Volume', 'Accept Any Volume' are
all set?

Regards,
