Hi,

bacula 2.0.3, debian etch, psql 8.1

My diff pool has a voluseduration of 4 days (96h). I just got a mail
from bacula that tape  06D124L3 was marked as used, because the
voluseduration exceeded. Thats fine, but the tape was last used on
2007-06-24. I think the tape should have been marked as used 4 days
after that. I run an admin job each day on 18:05 which issues a
'status dir'. I know that the algorithms bacula uses for
pruning/recycling/reuse are compicated, but the voluseduration is a
fix time span.


04-Jul 18:05 VU0EM005: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking
Volume "06D124L3" as Used.

This is the 'llist pool' output from 04-Jul-2007 12:46:06. The tape
was still marked as Append, although the last write was 10 days ago.

Pool: Differential
          mediaid: 5
       volumename: 06D124L3
             slot: 5
           poolid: 5
        mediatype: LTO3
     firstwritten: 2007-06-24 00:07:06
      lastwritten: 2007-06-24 01:10:37
        labeldate: 2007-06-24 00:07:06
          voljobs: 3
         volfiles: 80
        volblocks: 1,218,227
        volmounts: 4
         volbytes: 78,590,324,736
        volerrors: 0
        volwrites: 1,514,788
 volcapacitybytes: 0
        volstatus: Append
          enabled: 1
          recycle: 1
     volretention: 2,678,400
   voluseduration: 345,600
[...]


Now the status changed to Used. 

Is this the normal behavior? Why didn't bacula notice the exceeded
voluseduration after the configured 4 days instead of 10?
