bconsole
* list media pool 
Shows a 1 under Recycle column at the far right. Great!

Attached I found in Jamie Cameron's Webmin module for Bacula where you set 
volumes to recycle and list what prefix you want your volumes to use (i.e. 
Vol0001, Vol0002 and so on).

I guess we will see how many it creates and then when it starts re-using them. 
Thanks for the help.

look at the output of
list media pool=WhateverPoolYouCreated

in bconsole

20GB is fine.

You set this in the pool definition. Look at the pool resource in the 
documentation
