I would definitely check the more common and more likely circumstance first, 
where the previous backup on the volume does complete in error. It is certainly 
possible that there will be no error, but one should eliminate that probable 
log entry first -- if the last volume use does complete without error, I'd 
agree, but I've not seen it yet.

Hi Martin, Hi Ryan,

I suspect he will see what I was seeing.

Namely, the previous job that used the volume would complete OK (no errors, no
warnings) and everything looked perfectly fine.

But behind the scenes due to memory problems, SD threads were crashing and I
didn't know it, and then the next job to use the volume would report it as
having a size mismatch, and/or mark it in error.  Heck, even when I did
noticed the SD threads crashing, it still made no sense because the jobs were
completing OK and there were no errors or complaints from Bacula.

Because of the multitude of non-related issues all occurring at the same time,
it was a real pita to figure out the whole problem  but in the end the causes
were pretty simple and I am glad it is back to normal again. :)

Hope Jean-François has similar results. :)
