A very good start to include that information.
And - your Bacula is outdated. You should upgrade as soon as possible.
Recebt versions not only add new features but also fix serious issues.

That's probably because your existing volume still uses the original
information. What you set in the pool configuration is merely a
template used when creating new volumes, so you need to update the
existing volume. In bconsole, the command to use is - surprise! -
'update'.

You could also simply set the volume status to "Used" and use the
'label' command to create a new volume.
