Hi,
Relating to my previous message about auto-pruning we have run in the same
problem again today doing some testing. I can only conclude there is a bug
in the volume update mechanism:
Ran a test backup on volume with status 'Used' but for which retention
time has expired:
13-Mar 14:18 admt-dir: Pruned 2 Jobs on Volume "full_admt-0002" from catalog.
13-Mar 14:18 admt-sd: test_backup.2006-03-13_14.18.36 Warning: Director
wanted Volume "full_admt-0017".
Current Volume "full_admt-0002" not acceptable because:
1998 Volume "full_admt-0002" status is Used, but should be Append,
Purged or Recycle (cannot automatically recycle current volume, as it
still contains unpruned data).
13-Mar 14:18 admt-sd: Please mount Volume "full_admt-0017" on Storage
Device "DDS-5" (/dev/nst0) for Job test_backup.2006-03-13_14.18.36
According to bacula it *did* correctly prune the only two jobs located on
the volume. Checking with query 'List Jobs/Files stored in a selected
MediaId' afterwards gives:
*no results listed
Which is good. So the tape should be usuable, yet bacula issed a mount
request. I then just confirmed the mount request *without* changing the
tape:
*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: DDS-5
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Connecting to Storage daemon DDS-5 at admt:9103 ...
3001 OK mount. Device="DDS-5" (/dev/nst0)
*mess
13-Mar 14:21 admt-dir: Recycled current volume "full_admt-0002"
13-Mar 14:21 admt-sd: Recycled volume "full_admt-0002" on device "DDS-5"
(/dev/nst0), all previous data lost.
And then bacula recycles the tape and starts the backup! This does not
make any sense whatsoever???
