[Bacula-users] Device is BLOCKED waiting to create a volume for:...

Hi,

bacula 3.0.2 (updated 3 weeks ago). Can anyone explain why bacula is not using
a volume from the INV-MPC-Differential pool?

VU0EF005-INV-Volume1.2009-09-10_12.16.43_07 waiting. Cannot find any appendable 
volumes.
Please use the "label"  command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "ULTRIUM-TD4-D2" (/dev/ULTRIUM-TD4-D2)
    Pool:         INV-MPC-Differential
    Media type:   LTO4





Even after restarting the dir and sd bacula refused to use a volume. I purged
all volumes and updated the status to Recycle. I haven't seen this with 2.4.x.
