Yay, I figured it out. I added this to the pool that the autoloader lives in:
Pool {
Name = TapeArchiveFullBackups
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 3 years
Storage = PV-TL4000
Maximum Volume Bytes = 0
}
I did not previously have a max volume bytes specified, so it must have been
inheriting it from somewhere. But now I have restarted my copy job, and its at
188GB now, and still rolling along.
Thanks,

Subject: [Bacula-users] bacula saying volume limit hit on tape drive
Hello, bacula is writing just 53GB to 400GB LTO3 tapes, declaring that the
specified size limit has been exceeded.
09-Apr 10:51 bacula-sd JobId 11602: User defined maximum volume capacity
53,687,091,200 exceeded on device "TL4000D2" (/dev/nst1).
09-Apr 10:51 bacula-sd JobId 11602: Re-read of last block succeeded.
09-Apr 10:51 bacula-sd JobId 11602: End of medium on Volume "SFG019L3"
Bytes=53,687,079,936 Blocks=832,202 at 09-Apr-2013 10:51.
09-Apr 10:51 bacula-sd JobId 11602: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 8,
drive 1" command.
09-Apr 10:52 bacula-sd JobId 11602: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 1"
command.
09-Apr 10:52 bacula-sd JobId 11602: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 1", result:
nothing loaded.
As far as I can tell, I do not have a size limit defined for this device.
Device {
Name = TL4000D2
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg6
Autochanger = yes
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
RequiresMount = yes
LabelMedia = no
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
# If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
However, I do have limit defined on the file storage files that the backups
from this copy job are coming from.
What can I look at to eliminate this waste of 350GB of unused tape space?
Thanks,
jonathan
