I have a labelformat with timestamps and want that the volumes are truncated and new ones created if needed. I was playing with "ActionOnPurge" and saw that "Recycle" needs to be on/yes for purge volume action=truncate storage=File allpools doing the truncate. (target volume has actiononpurge=Truncate and status=purged) But why this dependency?
