Re: [Bacula-users] Volumes purged but not recycled

When the volumes 16 to 26 were created, do you had "Recycle = yes" configured in this pool? It seems that these volumes were created without this option configured in your pool. Every change you made in your pools configurations, they must be updated to the existing volumes in catalog: update -> pool from resource. And to update all the existing volumes to the new configurations: update volume -> all volumes from pool (you can use from all pools if you change more than one pool).

Thanks, Ana. That would explain my one issue. I'm sure I did not have it configured in the pool. I have updated all the volumes. I thought "Recycle" was an indicator of state and not an indicator of capability. Now I understand.

But I had marked the volume with MediaID 16 with Recycle=Yes, and then I marked it with Append. Then Bacula appended a few files to it, but it ran out of room almost immediately. I guess that makes sense.

The question then is: How do I get a Purged, Recycle-able tape to get written to starting at the beginning? Do I need to delete it and re-add it?
