It didn't used the volume incorrectly recyled, 000529L4,

bacula storage daemon just recycled it, marked as used

and proceeded, correctly to backup on 000506L4 after

a manual intervention.

 

The manual intervention was required because the volume

000506L4 for some reason I don't quite understand was

not considered anymore inside the changer (it was of course),

as this log, from another concurrent job show

 

13-Oct 21:00 bl13-dir JobId 1762: Start Backup JobId 1762, Job=MccwHome.2014-10-13_21.00.00_34

13-Oct 21:02 bl13-sd JobId 1762: No slot defined in catalog (slot=0) for Volume "000506L4" on "lto1" (/dev/nlto1).

13-Oct 21:02 bl13-sd JobId 1762: Cartridge change or "update slots" may be required.

13-Oct 21:02 bl13-sd JobId 1762: Warning: Director wanted Volume "000506L4".

Current Volume "000529L4" not acceptable because:

1998 Volume "000529L4" catalog status is Used, but should be Append, Purged or Recycle.

13-Oct 21:03 bl13-sd JobId 1762: No slot defined in catalog (slot=0) for Volume "000506L4" on "lto1" (/dev/nlto1).

13-Oct 21:03 bl13-sd JobId 1762: Cartridge change or "update slots" may be required.

 

After the intervention, "update slots", the jobs continued without

any problem

14-Oct 12:56 bl13-sd JobId 1762: Recycled volume "000506L4" on device "lto1" (/dev/nlto1), all previous data lost.

 

And yes, I've "prefer mounted volume set to yes" for these jobs.
