[Bacula-users] Recycling not respecting Volume Retention

Hello!

I've some problems with bacula 5.2.5 (maybe < 5.2.5) Volume 
Retention.... It looks bacula is recycling volumes when no one is left, 
even before volume retention period expires.... Although bacula purged 
all jobs and files from volume, it should respect volume retention, 
don't it?

For testing purposes, I've downloaded, compiled and installer bacula 
5.2.5, changing only Pool file settings:
   Volume Use Duration = 1 minute
   Volume Retention = 1 day
and Client bacula-fd:
   File Retention = 1 minute
   Job Retention = 1 minute

So, I've created 2 volumes, Vol1 and Vol2. Then, I ran a backup job, 
that was stored at Vol1. 1 minute later, ran another backup, Vol1 was 
marked as used, files and job at Vol1 was purged, and backup was stored 
at Vol2.

Another minute later I ran another backup. This time, Vol1 was recycled 
and backup was stored on it. Since Volume Retention was set to 1 day and 
manual says about Recycling Algorithm: "Prune volumes applying Volume 
retention period (Volumes with VolStatus Full, Used, or Append are 
pruned). Note, even if all the File and Job records are pruned from a 
Volume, ***the Volume will not be marked Purged until the Volume 
retention period expires***." 
(http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html),
 
Vol1 shouldn't have been recycled... But log shows "There are no more 
Jobs associated with Volume "Vol1". Marking it purged."

Any ideas?

Regards,
   Diego
