here's my device definition:
Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = DLT-8000
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
# If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo
# Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -l %c'"
}
and my pool's definition in the director is :
# An optimized pool definition for recycling tapes
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 2 days # less than one week
Volume Use Duration = 2 days
Catalog Files = yes
Label Format = "ilemTape-" # Label the Tapes automatically after
pruning
Purge Oldest Volume = yes # Search for the oldest used Volume in
the Pool when another volume is requested by the sd and none are available
# Use Volume Once = yes
}
How can I limit my pool to 7 tapes Ryan ?
Thanks for helping

Sounds to me like he has automatic labeling turned on and does not limit
his pool to 7 tapes.
