Hi all, I am using bacula 5.0.1 and I am trying to use the new "Action On Purge = Truncate" feature - without success so far :-/
Like I understood it: If i run a "purge volume=Ftp-0033" and Action On Purge = Truncate is set for that pool, the SD should set the file to 0 bytes on disk, right? This is my pool ressource: Pool { Name = FileFtp Storage = somehost-sd Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune = yes Volume Retention = 4 months Action On Purge = Truncate Label Format = "FtpVol-" Maximum Volume Bytes = 1073639424 Maximum Volumes = 50 } + I have updated the pool from the ressource. (update pool=...) + I have read the docs at http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_1.html and tried the commands that are listed there which should truncate all volumes with status "Purged": *update volume=Ftp-0033 ActionOnPurge=Truncate *purge volume action=truncate storage=FileFtp allpools I tried several things but my disk files never get truncated when I purge a volume. This is the device ressource from the bacula-sd.conf: Device { Name = FtpFileStorage Device Type = File Media Type = File Archive Device = /mnt/backup Requires Mount = Yes Mount Point = /mnt/backup Mount Command = "/usr/bin/curlftpfs -o allow_root [snip] %m" Unmount Command = "/usr/bin/fusermount -u %m" Label Media = Yes # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes Automatic Mount = Yes # mount new volumes automatically Removable Media = No } Any hints someone? What can I check? What might be wrong?
