RE: [bareos-users] Recycling volumes of cancelled jobs
I've seen this. Deleted jobs do not completely 'delete' They still show up in 'stat dir' as terminated/cancelled jobs. If I delete, I would expect it to really delete. But saying that, it wouldn't surprise me the job's volumes, if completely containing data for the deleted jobs, do not get marked as reusable. I see this: Say a tape is used by jobs 4,7,13 Delete job 7 Volume shows used by 4,7,13 anyway, should just be 4,13 delete job 4, 13 Tape should be marked reusable, but list jobs on volume would still show 4,7,13 Also 'stat dir' still shows these jobs -Original Message- From: bareos-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:bareos-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christoph Haas Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 12:05 PM To: bareos-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [bareos-users] Recycling volumes of cancelled jobs Am 03.02.2015 um 16:01 schrieb Philipp Storz: I'm rather looking for a way to tell Bareos to recycle volumes that do not belong to any valid job any more.

I believe I tried that. The job was removed. But although one full backup was 600 GB I had more than 1 TB of media/volumes on my disk. And the media was marked Full. Doesn't it appear differently once it's recycled? Or would Bareos in fact consider these volumes writeable again? …Christoph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups bareos-users group.
