Bacula works with disk volumes similarly as it does with tape volumes. Therefore, when truncating, it needs to mount the volume in a free drive to write some metadata on it. If you have no available drive, bacula can't operate. To solve this issue you probably need to declare a second drive like the first one. Cheers, Mat.
