Hi Martin,
I read that, and understand it doesn't run automatically, but must be
called from a runscript, or whatever.
However, my understanding is that the volumes need to be marked as
purged before this feature will truncate them?
It does not purge them, but truncates any which have a status of
purged when it's run.  I need something else to purge them first, and
then run this to truncate them.  As far as I can see, the only time a
volume will be marked as purged (apart from manually doing it) is when
Bacula decides to recycle it, in which case it will be truncated
anyway before being rewritten.

Am I missing the point of this feature completely?
