Greetings :-)
I've run into this problem with Bacula in a previous installation, and I
can't seem to recall if there was ever a resolution.. I'm using Bacula for
disk based backups only, and I am using vchanger to manage my virtual
library.
I've configured a vchanger library with 100 slots and 8 drives, and have
set a Maximum Volume Bytes of 100G on the pool definition that I am using,
to limit each slot in the library to 100G. I have also set a Maximum
Concurrent Jobs = 2 setting on each of the virtual tape drive devices in my
storage director config, so that only two jobs can write to a device at a
time to minimize interleaving.
Everything works perfectly as long as I only kick a few jobs off at a
time.. however, when my main backup windows run and 30 or 40 backup jobs
kick off, I often end up with jobs that output the following sequence in
the logs:
31-Jul 21:00 bacula1-dir JobId 692: Start Backup JobId 692,
Job=job-evolvereports-main.2014-07-31_21.00.00_48

seconds, FD automatically compensating.

31-Jul 21:06 bacula1-sd JobId 692: Ready to append to end of Volume
"chg1_0001_0071"
size=8,003,988,010
This ends up marking my perfectly usable volume as Error in the catalog.
Is this something that everyone runs into? Is there any fix? As I recall
when I looked into it a few years back, the issue was the order and timing
of volume and device selection, but it's definitely been a while.
My bacula-sd.conf file is here:

Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
