Hello-

I am experiencing the exact same situation as Erik Olsen did when he posted to the list last week. I have yet to hear from him whether he has succeeded in truncating purged volumes automatically. I am still getting the message that there are no volumes to truncate when in fact there are volumes that have been purged from the MyCatalog catalog. I do not want to have to manually delete these purged volumes anymore so please do bear with me!

Here's a part of my Jobs definition which is exactly the same for all other jobs definitions except for the file sets, storage, and pools:

Job {
  Name = "aries"
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Client = aries-fd
  FileSet = "Aries Set"
  Schedule = "ariesWeeklyCycle"
  Storage = FileStoragearies
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/aries.bsr"
  Pool = aries# Set up truncation of purged volumes
  RunScript {
    RunsWhen=After
    RunsOnClient=No
    Console = "truncate storage=FileStoragearies pool=aries"
  }
}

The pool definition:

Pool {
  Name = aries
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no                        # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 2 months         # one year
#   Accept Any Volume = yes             # write on any volume in the pool
  Label Format = "Backup_aries-fd_${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${Hour:p/2/0/r}.${Minute:p/2/0/r}.${Second:p/2/0
/r}"
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Action On Purge = Truncate
}

A sample of the "llist volumes pool=aries" command output:

          comment:


As you can see this particular volume in the "aries" pool is marked purged and actiononpurge = 1.

Running "truncate storage=FileStoragearies pool=aries" produces this:

*truncate storage=FileStoragearies pool=aries
No Volumes found to perform truncate action.

Can you please tell me what I could be overlooking if at all??? Running Bacula 7.0.5 on FreeBSD 9.3.
