Uwe recommended to you:

> in console?


Whenever you edit your Pool definition(s), you need to (in bconsole) issue a
reload command, followed by:

Update --> Pool from resource --> Choose the pool you modified

* repeat that step for each pool you modified


Next, if you have modified any pools that already have volumes in them you
need to also modify the volumes that are in those pools. In bconsole do this:

update --> Volume parameters --> All Volumes from all pools

then, in bconsole run:

list media

and verify that all of your media in each pool now has the correct retention
periods.


Also pay careful attention to what John and Uwe said about when the retention
period begins, and the "Maximum Volume Bytes" and "Maximum Volumes" parameters
in your pool definitions to keep your hard drive from filling.

At this point, with a 100% full drive, you will have to (in bconsole) cancel
any running jobs, delete some volumes, and then rm them them from the hard 
drive.

Next, edit your pool definitions - adding in the two "maximum" parameters -
then follow the directions regarding reloading and updating listed above to
get you back on track.

Hope this helps!
