Hi ,

While testing Recycling configuration for volumes. I am facing a issue.

My volumes are in Full status even after expiration of Volume
Retention period.

I have used "Volume Retention = 3 hours" in pools

"Job Retention = 4 months" and "File Retention = 4 months"  in client
but 6 hours after last written my volume is still in Full status where
as I think it should be in Purge state.

my pool configuration is:


Pool {
         Name = BACKUP
         Label Format = "Backup"
         Pool Type = Backup
         Recycle = yes           # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
         AutoPrune = yes         # Prune expired volumes
         Storage = Autochanger
         Volume Retention = 3 hours
         Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
         Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
}

my client configuration is:

Client {
   Name = backup-fd
   Address = localhost
   FDPort = 9102
   Password = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"          #
password for FileDaemon
   Catalog = DefaultCatalog
   File Retention = 4 months
   Job Retention = 4 months
   AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

in bconsole list media command shows below output:

*list media
Pool: BACKUP
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes        |

832 |       10,800 |       1 |    1 |         1 | LTO-4     |
2013-09-24 00:45:46 |
|       3 | A00041L4   | Append    |       1 |          64,512 |
  0 |       10,800 |       1 |    2 |         1 | LTO-4     |
0000-00-00 00:00:00 |
|       4 | A00042L4   | Full      |       1 | 845,369,247,744 |
852 |       10,800 |       1 |    3 |         1 | LTO-4     |
2013-09-23 19:20:01 |
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+

As it can be seen that last written time on this volume is 19:20:01 it
is mote than 6 hours.

     Please tell me why it is in Full status . when it will be in purge state.
     Will it be a problem for volume recycling


Thanks in advance...!!!
