That's gonna get someone in trouble one day :)
Using the bconsole method:
First, test config files after modifying a Pool definition:
# bacula-dir -t /etc/bacula-dir.conf
(no output = no problems)
Then in bocnsole:
* reload
(re-reads/reloads its config file)
* update
Update choice:
1: Volume parameters
2: Pool from resource
3: Slots from autochanger
4: Long term statistics
Choose catalog item to update (1-4): 2 <--- Choose 2
The defined Pool resources are:
1: Scratch
2: Default
3: FileTapes
4: Offsite-eSATA
5: VXA-1
Select Pool resource (1-5): 3 <--- The Pool that was modified
Those steps make sure that new volumes created in the "FileTapes" pool will
get the settings in the bacula-dir.conf file
Then, still in bconsole:
* update
Update choice:
1: Volume parameters
2: Pool from resource
3: Slots from autochanger
4: Long term statistics
Choose catalog item to update (1-4): 1 <--- Modifying current volumes
Parameters to modify:
1: Volume Status
2: Volume Retention Period
3: Volume Use Duration
4: Maximum Volume Jobs
5: Maximum Volume Files
6: Maximum Volume Bytes
7: Recycle Flag
8: Slot
9: InChanger Flag
10: Volume Files
11: Pool
12: Volume from Pool
13: All Volumes from Pool
14: All Volumes from all Pools
15: Enabled
16: RecyclePool
17: Action On Purge
18: Done
Select parameter to modify (1-18): 13 <--- (or 14 to skip next step)
The defined Pool resources are:
1: Scratch
2: Default
3: FileTapes
4: Offsite-eSATA
5: VXA-1
Select Pool resource (1-5): 3 <-- The Pool that was previously modified
I know, a few more steps, but in the end nobody had their hands in your Bacula
db. :)
