A very good start to include that information. And - your Bacula is outdated. You should upgrade as soon as possible. Recebt versions not only add new features but also fix serious issues. > I have a storage, so I'm using file storage.

That's probably because your existing volume still uses the original information. What you set in the pool configuration is merely a template used when creating new volumes, so you need to update the existing volume. In bconsole, the command to use is - surprise! - 'update'. > I would like to know what is wrong, any tip is appreciated. Also, is > there a way to force a volume creation?
