Hi folks,
I'm experiencing a weird issue with one of our bacula servers (9.6.5
on ubuntu 18.04 compiled from source).
Most of the backups work just fine, however for one client they fail /
hang consistently as bacula fails to complete purging of a volume from the pool
(I use separate storages & pools for fulls and incrementals, both disk-based).
I'm seeing this message in bconsole under these circumstances:
08-Jan 07:13 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284"

The volume isn't too big and purging it manually takes only a few seconds.
I would recommend to check the volume content on the catalog side (JobMedia
mostly), I think that I have seen and fixed a similar issue few months
ago. (in 11.0) It
was a loop, the volume was not purged because some orphan jobmedia still
present
were blocking the recycling, and the volume was always selected by the
Purge Oldest algorithm.
Hope it helps!
Best Regards,
Eric
