I ran update, and selected the Pool, and the volume - If I change this 
volume to recycle, will the other 50 volumes be created *before* 
recycling this one? That way, another 15 volumes or so will be created, 
which should be able to hold all the current jobs. (with my limited 
bacula knowledge, this is what I come up with!) I'm thinking of the 
bacula logic - Does recycling a volume take precedence over creating a 
new one? (I would have assumed ... yes), because if so, on my first 
migrate job, I'll end up deleting the volume I'm trying to resize. I 
would like to be told I'm wrong here! Otherwise, I will wait till I've 
got all the migrate jobs sorted out.
