Sounds like you had file retention, or job retention, set to 180 days?
Btw, they are client-spesific, while volume retention is volume spesific, so
they are spesified in a different place in the conf file.
Also note, that
- volume retention is the minimum time the volume info will be kept, it
stays in the catalog until the volume is recycled, which may take much
longer (depends on your site)
- any changes to volume retention in the conf file affect primarily to the
new volumes created thereafter. To apply to older volumes, use update pool
and update volume commands in bconsole.
