You've got a fixed number of File volumes. You screwed up your
rentention periods or screwed them up in a test or whatever. Bacula
properly complains that it doesn't have a volume to use based on
retention periods. All good.
One would like to:
bconsole> purge jobs volume
..select pool..
..select volume..
bconsole> mount
..select device..
And then watch it go away happy.
Unfortunately, it's not so easy. It apparently won't touch a purged
volume after the job has already started. So you have two choices:
1. Relabel an existing volume (which confuses your file management
extras)
2. Stop and restart bacula (which blows away all jobs in the queue)
I tried changing the purged volume's status to Append, and then
mounting the file device but it still showed BLOCKED waiting for media.
Is there a third answer here that I am overlooking? Is there any way
to get bacula to see the old volume without having to create a new one?
