From time to time Bacula still puzzled me.
But... wasn't that the point of all (complex) software? ;-)
In a library i've initially setup a pool with 4 couple of tapes; after some
time, we have revised the backup strategy and keeped a pool with 4 single
tapes that we exchange weekly (one tape in the library at a time), and another
pool with two tapes for 'one shot' backups.
I've moved two tapes from the first pool to the second, reapply pool
parameters to volumes, purge the tapes; situation now is:
*list media pool=VEN-CN-CNPVE3EEGLTOPool
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-------------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------+----------+---------------------+------------+

I see "recycle=0" or, in Bacula Pool Directive terms, "Recycle = No".
That would be my first guess. Otherwise, trace the DIR's actions -- no
idea what trace level would be suitable for volume selection, and of
course if you have lots of activity, it will be a lot of noise, too.
Cheers,
Arno
