Well... interesting point, in fact. Theoretically, you could have volumes with identical names in different pools. I could even find lots of reasons for doing so, but I know one good reason for not doing it. I never tried it, until now... see below. > I'm on 1.38.7. Ok, this is 2.0.2: #label storage=GoblinFile pool=Schrott volume=TestForDon Connecting to Storage daemon GoblinFile at goblin:9103 ... Sending label command for Volume "TestForDon" Slot 0 ... 3000 OK label. VolBytes=196 DVD=0 Volume="TestForDon" Device="GoblinFile" (/var/bacula/) Catalog record for Volume "TestForDon", Slot 0 successfully created. Requesting to mount GoblinFile ... 3906 File device "GoblinFile" (/var/bacula/) is always mounted. #delete volume=TestForDon This command will delete volume TestForDon and all Jobs saved on that volume from the Catalog Are you sure you want to delete this Volume? (yes/no): Unexpected question has been received. yes # I'm deleting volumes all the time :-) and back to 1.36 I never had to give the pool name. I really don't know why you have to. Ok, trying volumes with identical names in two pools now. 1. You can not effectively try it with only one disk based storage device because the disk files get the name of the volume and you can't have identical file names in one directory :-) 2. I don't have spare tapes left - added to shopping list :-) 3. It seems like a 1.39.20 SD doesn't talk 2.0.2 language... at least creating volumes doesn't work. 4. I don't have another file storage device in the network. Someone else should continue this - I would need a writen test plan of at least 10 pages, I guess ;-) Arno > On Thu, 2007-02-08 at 21:58 +0100, Arno Lehmann wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>On 2/8/2007 7:48 PM, Don MacArthur wrote: >> >>>Thank you for your help.
