Hello,

I have been using bacula for some time now, and I am having an .. um..
interesting situation.
I am currently using 1.38.9, compiled from source on a Debian/Sarge
machine.

I have ~50 clients, each client has its own job, so 50+ jobs.

If I set the Volume Use Duration to anything other than 0 (zero), the
Volume status 
is set to "Used" after the first job is run, which - after reading the
manual - is the
expected behaviour. 

But this is not what I want since I want all my jobs to go on the same
tape.

Sooo. I set the Volume Use Duration to 0 (zero), and this lets all my
jobs
go to the same tape, YES, SUCCESS, CHAMPAGNE...etc

Except, the tape status is set to "Append" after the last job is done,
now
this is not what I want at all, this leaves the door wide open for
problems.

So to summarize:

1. Use Duration > 0, only 1 job per volume, bad
2. Use Duration = 0, all jobs on the same volume, status = Append, also
bad

Right now what I do is set the status to Used manually everyday, I can
script
it, but I'd rather hear if this is normal or am I doing something wrong.

What am I missing here?

Thanks
tc
