Hello All, According to the Thread "[Bacula-users] Why isn't bacula recycling these volumes?" and to the documentation: <https://www.bacula.org/11.0.x-manuals/en/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html>:
"A few points to keep in mind: If a pool doesn't have maximum volumes defined then Bacula will prefer to demand new volumes over forcibly purging older volumes." This is not accurate at all in consonance to my simple test: *show pool=Test Pool: name=Test PoolType=Backup use_cat=1 use_once=0 cat_files=1 max_vols=0 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=1 sec VolUse=0 secs recycle=1 LabelFormat=${Pool}-${NumVols} CleaningPrefix=*None* LabelType=0 RecyleOldest=0 PurgeOldest=0 ActionOnPurge=1 MaxVolJobs=0 MaxVolFiles=0 MaxVolBytes=5368709120 MaxPoolBytes=0 MigTime=0 secs MigHiBytes=0 MigLoBytes=0 CacheRetention=0 secs JobRetention=0 secs FileRetention=0 secs --> Autochanger: name=DedupDisk address=192.168.0.205 SDport=9103 MaxJobs=10 NumJobs=0 DeviceName=FileChgr1 MediaType=Dedup StorageId=3 Autochanger=1 AC group=3 ShareStore=*none* *list media pool=Test +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+ | mediaid | volumename | volstatus | enabled | volbytes | volfiles | volretention | recycle | slot | inchanger | mediatype | voltype | volparts | lastwritten | expiresin | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+ | 1,039 | Test-0 | Append | 1 | 1,426,546 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Dedup | 15 | 0 | 2021-12-17 09:57:36 | 0 | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+-----------+ *update volstatus=Used volume=Test-0 New Volume status is: Used *run job=BaculaConfs pool=Test yes *list joblog jobid=9558 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | logtext | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | enterprisebacula-dir JobId 9558: Start Backup JobId 9558, Job=BaculaConfs.2021-12-17_09.59.14_42 | | enterprisebacula-dir JobId 9558: Connected to Storage "DedupDisk" at 192.168.0.205:9103 with TLS | | enterprisebacula-dir JobId 9558: There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Test-0".
