Yes, I was. "list volumes" shows the new retention period for all
volumes.

Not in this run, and not in any of the last 15 or so before that.

retention period is as expected, no recycling happened.

Hm... I wonder why the DIR allocates for two simultaneous running jobs
two pairs of (DRIVE, VOLUME), but not using the volume currently
mounted in the respective drive, but in the other one.  I would
expect, that when a job starts, that either a volume or a drive is
selected first:

- if the drive is selected first, and it has a tape loaded which is in
  the right pool, and in status append, then there should be no need
  to ask for any other tape.
- if the volume is allocated first, and it is already loaded in a
  suitable drive, then that drive should be used, ant not the other
  one.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
