Hi everyone.

While I do have some basic knowledge of bacula (i.e. viewing logs, restoring 
files/folders, labeling volumes) I couldn’t really find conclusive documentation
on how to resolve the following situation:

We’re using bacula with a Tandberg tape library. One of the volumes (tapes) has 
a status of ‘Error’ when I do a ‘list volumes’
in bconsole. Looking at the logs at around the time of the ‘Last written to’ 
field, I can see that a - probably running job - got cancelled
due to losing connection to the server. (Which coincides with a switch problem 
we had at that point, so that is probably what happened).
The job had accessed two volumes but only one shows an ‘Error’ the other one is 
marked full. Querying the database I get 0 files and bytes
written to either volume for the job. 

How do I go forward making the volume appendable again? (Assuming that the 
reason for the ‘Error' is the interrupted job?)

Thanks in advance,

Korbinian
