    Hello,

    I am using bacula 5.0.2 as delivered by Debian packaging system.
    This morning I have jobs hanged due to no appendable volume in the
    pool.
    the job and file retention for the jobs are both of 1 month. The
    Volume retention for all volumes in the pool is 23 days.
    All volumes in the pool are marked as Used. However, there id one
    volume that was last written more than 2 month ago (2011-06-19
    15:30:31).

    I have tried to query the catalog on found out that no job record
    were associated with that volume anymore (bconsole / query / 14 /
    volname)

    I have tried pruning the volume by hand using the `prune` command,
    it shows the correct volume volume retention but prune nothing.
    Here is the volume and pool description as shown by `list volume`
    and `show pool`:

/| 8 | hosting_incremental_0002 | Used | 1 |426,895,388 | 0 | 1,987,200 | 1 | 0 | 0

    | File      | 2011-06-19 15:30:31 |


    Pool: name=hosting_Incremental PoolType=Backup
          use_cat=1 use_once=0 cat_files=1
          max_vols=5 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=23 days
          VolUse=7 days  recycle=1
    LabelFormat=${Pool:l}_${NumVols:p/4/0/r}
          CleaningPrefix=*None* LabelType=0
          RecyleOldest=1 PurgeOldest=0 ActionOnPurge=0
          MaxVolJobs=0 MaxVolFiles=0 MaxVolBytes=0
          MigTime=0 secs MigHiBytes=0 MigLoBytes=0
          JobRetention=680 years 11 months 21 days 8 hours 21 mins 20
    se FileRetention=5 years 1 month 11 days 17 hours 26 mins 8 secs/

    Note the huge JobRetention in the pool. The job retention is the
    same in the job description shown in `show job`. I have double
    checked my config files and found the following:
    Client {
      Name = jimbojones-fd
      Address = fqdn-addr
      Catalog = MyCatalog
      Password ="secret"
      FileRetention = 30 days
      JobRetention = 30 days
    }

    Does anybody knows why I can't recycle that volume and why I have
    this strange Jobretention value?

I am not sure why you had these ridiculous file and job retentionshowever neither of them will stop a volume from being recycled. Thesetwo are more about how long to keep the records in the database.

Yep John, you're absolutely right. Purging orphaned records was thesolution.Unfortunately I still have those weird retention periods associated withpools and jobs, whereas I have normal values associated with Client(which is the value used I hope!):


show clients
Client: name=jimbojones-fd address=jimbojones.fqdn FDport=9102 MaxJobs=1
      JobRetention=1 month  FileRetention=1 month  AutoPrune=1
  --> Catalog: name=MyCatalog address= DBport=0 db_name=bacula
      db_driver=*None* db_user=bacula MutliDBConn=0

I'm curious to know where those value come from or how are theycalculated... If someone knows, please shed the light.

Am I the only one having such values reported by `show pool` or `show jobs`?
