I think you needed AutoPrune. You can add that directive to your
Pool resource. Then run update, within bconsole, to refresh your
Volume parameters based upon your current Pool definition. The next
time a job is run, the catalog will be pruned automatically. Then we
can see what status that volume has.
You can run prune manually, if you wish. I recommend doing the above
to know it will do it for you next time.
