I updated to 2.2.6 this week, but today it happend again after issuing 'status dir days=4'. You have messages. *mess 22-Nov 13:46 VU0EM005-dir JobId 0: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume "06D137L3" as Used. 22-Nov 13:46 VU0EM005-dir JobId 0: Using Volume "06D141L3" from 'Scratch' pool. No backup was running but volume 06D141L3 was moved from the Scratch pool to the Differential pool. The next diff backup will be on sunday. Furthermore, why didn't bacula recycle volumes 06D125L3 or 06D126L3? The volume retention time is set to 31 days.

Why didn't bacula just prune/recycle volume 06D125L3 instead of taking an volume from the scratch pool? AutoPrune is set to yes. *llist media=06D125L3 mediaid: 6 volumename: 06D125L3 slot: 6 poolid: 5 mediatype: LTO3 firstwritten: 2007-10-14 00:07:06 lastwritten: 2007-10-14 00:25:18 labeldate: 2007-10-14 00:07:06 voljobs: 3 volfiles: 11 volblocks: 152,164 volmounts: 6 volbytes: 9,816,468,480 volerrors: 0 volwrites: 1,480,258 volcapacitybytes: 0 volstatus: Used enabled: 1 recycle: 1 volretention: 2,678,400 voluseduration: 345,600 maxvoljobs: 0 maxvolfiles: 0 maxvolbytes: 0 inchanger: 1 endfile: 10 endblock: 13,870 volparts: 0 labeltype: 0 storageid: 2 deviceid: 0 locationid: 0 recyclecount: 0 initialwrite: scratchpoolid: 0 recyclepoolid: 0 comment: The last entry in the log file about volume 06D125L3 was 18-Okt 18:05 VU0EM005-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume "06D125L3" as Used. After that: nothing. No message like that (other volume as example) about pruned records or recycling. 07-Okt 11:03 VU0EM005-dir: ua_purge.c:611 All records pruned from Volume "06D132L3"; marking it "Purged" 07-Okt 11:03 VU0EM005-dir: Recycled volume "06D136L3" This makes a scratch pool completely useless. Questions: * why did bacula not prune the records from volume 06D125L3 and recyle it as needed? * why does bacula 'use' a new volume days before the next backup happens?
