Unless your OS is broken, Bacula always detects and reports when a volume gets a write error, which is the case when your partition fills up. I would classify the fact that Bacula continues attempting to create Volumes on a harddisk after a full partition as missing code (a bug if you will). However, before making any definitive statement, I would like to see the "error" messages that Bacula produced for you. They should be in the log. Using Tomcat but need to do more?
