Hi,

the documentation says about PurgeOldestVolume:

> Please be aware that Purge Oldest Volume disregards all retention
> periods. If you have only a single Volume defined and you turn this
> variable on, that Volume will always be immediately overwritten when
> it fills!

If LabelMedia = yes and MaximumVolumes is not reached, that won't
happen.  Bacula will prefer labeling new volumes over purging old
volumes (as long as the retention periods aren't expired).

Just tested on a Debian 5.0.2 machine with Bacula 2.4.4.
