Alittle Background first:
Running ~75 Clients (Windows Bacula FD 3.0.1) on 5 Storage Daemons (Mix of
Windows SD & Linux SD, 3.01) against Bacula-DIR of 3.0.1 & mySQL...
Now that that's out of the way.
I am attempting to Automatically recycle volumes after a certain date. Out
of the 5 Storage Daemons, only 1 of them is actually recycling the volume
after 2 weeks. The other's seem to keep adding more and more volumes as
time goes on. Sometimes the Volumes to recycle (list nextvol on random
clients shows use of a volume that's already full and ready to be
recycled.). The problem that I am running into is that our Storage server
(writing to disk) freespace is getting smaller and smaller every day due to
the volumes that are not recycling properly. Eventually I give in, check
old dates on the volume and manually purge/delete the volume in order to
keep the space down. I have finally gotten fed up with this, and asking for
your help.
I have some Volumes on the one that is not working, all the way back to the
7th of this month, that are full. Set to recycleable after 5 days, etc.
Like I said, some recycle, most become new volumes and fill up the drive.
Below is some of my configuration. #1 is for the SD/Pool/jobdef/etc that is
working and recycling properly, #2 is not working. (xxx's to protect the
innocent)
