[Bacula-users] Why won't my volume truncate?

Hello,

I have just been trying to use the bacula truncate command on disk volumes.

I set 'ActionOnPurge = truncate' on all my Pools.
I ran a bconsole update command to update the field in the database.
This didn't update the field for volumes that were already purged, so I used
mysql to update the 'ActionOnPurge' field for them.

Then I ran this command:

purge volume action=truncate storage="Tower 1" allpools

This truncated lots of purged volumes, but on closer inspection, I find that I
have one volume that hasn't been truncated. Re-running the command doesn't
help.


I have also attempted to go through the bconsole menus to pick the specific
pool, like this:

*purge volume action=truncate

The defined Storage resources are:
     1: Tower 1
     2: Tower 2
Select Storage resource (1-4): 1
The defined Pool resources are:
     1: Tower 1
     2: Tower 2
Select Pool resource (1-19): 1
No volume founds to perform truncate action(s)

bconsole 'list volumes' gives this:
(lots of volumes that did truncate, then last in the list for the pool:)
|     124 | backup-0124 | Purged    |       1 |      227 |        0 |           
 0 |       1 |    0 |         0 | Tower 1   | 2010-12-25 23:49:11 |

mysql> select MediaId,VolumeName,ActionOnPurge,VolStatus,VolBytes,StorageId 
from Media where MediaId=124;
+---------+-------------+---------------+-----------+----------+-----------+
| MediaId | VolumeName  | ActionOnPurge | VolStatus | VolBytes | StorageId |
+---------+-------------+---------------+-----------+----------+-----------+
|     124 | backup-0124 |             1 | Purged    |      227 |         1 | 
+---------+-------------+---------------+-----------+----------+-----------+

volumes # ls -l backup-0124 
-rw-r----- 1 admin-bacula-sd admin-bacula-sd 9160873 Feb  4 00:03 backup-0124


So, any suggestions?
