My pool def is like this:

Pool {
  Name = file_abc
  Pool Type = Backup
  Volume Retention = 28 days
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  LabelFormat = abc
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
  Maximum Volumes = 5
  Action On Purge = Truncate
}

I don't have:

  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  RecyclePool = file_abc

Could that be the reason I'm not getting recycling to keep disc space under
control?
