All the messages that you show below
seem to be very consistent with the way that Bacula does/did
pruning in version 5.2.x. To know exactly why it chose to recycle
a particular volume, you would have to look in detail at the
Volume information just before it was recycled. During the
pruning process, multiple volumes can be marked purged, even if
they are not immediately recycled. Even though a volume is
recycled, by the Director, it may not be rewritten if the SD does
not want to use it. The SD issues a message when the data has
been overwritten. In your case, it appears that two volumes were
recycled, but only one was actually used by the SD, at least in
that particular job output. From what you show, it would be hard
to conclude that Bacula has made an error (I am not saying that
Bacula has no errors).

I can't understand why the bacula director,
5.2.13 under a stable
updated gentoo, recycled one volume
"000506L4", the correct one in
the slot 9 of my changer, but instead the
storage daemon recycled
the current volume mounted in drive1, from
slot4, volume "000529L4"
and without actually doing any pruning on the
volume, pruning that
was correctly performed for the "000506L4"
volume.
Note that the volume "000506L4" exceeded "Max
configure use duration"
just before the records for volume "000506L4"
had been pruned.
After this I've just a sequence, complete log
attached to this message,
of
Recycled volume "000506L4"
Recycled volume "000529L4" on device "lto1"
(/dev/nlto1), all previous data lost.
This configuration of bacula had been running
for quite a while without
a glitch, almost 10 months now and I had not
any hardware error on my
library at the time of this job, at least for
what I can see.
I can't understand what is going on.
Any clue?
