Check out retention period on your voulmes, using something like
llist volume=M112010
in bconsole.

The idea is that volumes only use their pool definition as a template
when they are created there; once they get their retention period
recorded, it won't change except by an operator.
To change the retention period, use
update volume=M112010
and follow the questions.
