All the messages that you show below seem to be very consistent with the
way that Bacula does/did pruning in version 5.2.x. To know exactly why
it chose to recycle a particular volume, you would have to look in
detail at the Volume information just before it was recycled. During
the pruning process, multiple volumes can be marked purged, even if they
are not immediately recycled. Even though a volume is recycled, by the
Director, it may not be rewritten if the SD does not want to use it.
The SD issues a message when the data has been overwritten. In your
case, it appears that two volumes were recycled, but only one was
actually used by the SD, at least in that particular job output. From
what you show, it would be hard to conclude that Bacula has made an
error (I am not saying that Bacula has no errors).
Best regards,

I can't understand why the bacula director, 5.2.13 under a stable
updated gentoo, recycled one volume "000506L4", the correct one in
the slot 9 of my changer, but instead the storage daemon recycled
the current volume mounted in drive1, from slot4, volume "000529L4"
and without actually doing any pruning on the volume, pruning that
was correctly performed for the "000506L4" volume.
Note that the volume "000506L4" exceeded "Max configure use duration"
just before the records for volume "000506L4" had been pruned.
After this I've just a sequence, complete log attached to this message,
of
Recycled volume "000506L4"
Recycled volume "000529L4" on device "lto1" (/dev/nlto1), all previous
data lost.
This configuration of bacula had been running for quite a while without
a glitch, almost 10 months now and I had not any hardware error on my
library at the time of this job, at least for what I can see.
I can't understand what is going on.
Any clue?
