Greetings My understanding, and I've been wrong before, is that deleting a volume (which is a file) from the catalog does not delete the file from the storage.
My recollection is that may have been one of the projects: http://bacula.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bacula/trunk/bacula/projects?view=markup On a skim I could not find it, Oh well. So I've scripted my way out of the problem. One to search the filestorage directory for "Volumes" and select from the catalog. If any "Files" are not "Cataloged volumes, delete them". Another to search for the oldest job on those volumes and delete it (it's been copied to tape). Then yet another to loop through doing it until there is 200GB of space available. I use postgres as well. If you want to see them just let me know, it uses php from a bash prompt.
