That's right - normally it displays *unknown* in the column for volume,
and it gets a new volume allocated when the job runs. But in the case I
showed above, the upcoming jobs had been pre-allocated a volume, which
isn't normal. Also, they'd all been allocated the same one, which won't
work, as each volume can be used once only.
Hence why I'm asking "how could this happen?" and "how do I fix it?"
I fixed it (for now) by manually changing the volume to be disabled. The
jobs then grabbed another volume, until with enough re-starts and
disabling a few volumes, it came back to normal.
I think there's a problem with bacula, I'd like to help find out what it
is, and how to fix it, but I need some help, as I don't really know
where to start looking.
