Hello Kern, I've done some new tests with volumes files and I have the good behaviour. I don't really understand what happened with the tapes, I will test again.
In any case, I think the volumes taken from Scratch Pool should not only take the Volume Retention of the new pool, they should also take its VolUseDuration, MaxVolJobs, MaxVolFiles and MaxVolBytes. I think moving 8 before 7 is a good thing. Best regards, Ludovic.
