I'm just a Bacula user with experience of some years, not a real guru. But I guess one reason could be, that in general case there could have been several concurrent jobs running. Then, if one of the running jobs were cancelled, there necessarily wouldn't any more be a single contiguos big block (at the end) of tape to free since there would be data from several jobs interleaved to the tape. So that feature would be limited in functionality to special cases only. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
