[Bacula-users] Fwd: Migration job marking destination volume used!

It is really weird, I marked it as append and then when it filled up the second tape it was using with multiple migration jobs, it tried to use the first tape again since it was in the append state. It gave the message "07-Aug 09:31 babacula-dir JobId 40116: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume "000043L3" as Used." The very odd thing is that it recycled this tape before the first migration job. There is a use duration of 20 days for tapes in this pool. I don't believe that 1.5 hours exceeds that. Again, the second tape that is used did not have this problem and it was recycled as well. I've marked the tape append again to see if it happens when the thrid tape is full. This is very confusing.

Look in the Bacula log to see if it says *why* it was marked as used at that
point.

Also check the syslog for messages about the tape drive device.
