Bacula will recover. The volume you are using will be marked as an
error the next time you use it and bacula will want a new volume. If
you do not want this and there is nothing valuable on the volume use
the purge command from the console on that volume. Also if you had
spooling on a spool file will be left in the spool folder.

I am not sure of anything to check.

reload in the console generally does this.
