I was reading in the Bacula's manual about the algorithm that Bacula uses when it needs a new volume, and comparing it with the behavior that mentioned above, there is something is not clear to me of the steps that the algorithm follows: * "If the request is for an Autochanger device, look only for Volumes in the Autochanger (i.e. with InChanger set and that have the correct Storage device)". Then why it can be that a volume with InChanger=0 has been chosen? * "Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Append (if there is more than one, the Volume with the oldest date last written is chosen. If two have the same date then the one with the lowest MediaId is chosen)". With that criterion I think that it must have chosen the EducarFull0002 volume. Why it can be that EducarFull0004 has been chosen? Thanks in advance.
