I forget to say that when I execute the "update slots" command, the 
director corrects the volume slots and Inchanger flag values but when 
the job starts the mount requests the incorrect slot.

Thanks for everything

John, thanks for the answer.
I set the retention period manually with the bconsole, sorry for not 
bringing that up.
Even if the volume was written yesterday, bacula changes the Inchanger 
flag and the slot number of the other volume marked as used with the 
values from the volume that's supposed to be recycled, and that behavior 
makes the recycle process to crash.

Paste from /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg2 listall

S:11:EXXL5
S:12:F:DRC201L5
S:13:F:DRC202L5
S:14:F:XXL5

At first i thought that it was a retention/volume-use period 
misconfiguration, but then I checked that it was a random issue and I 
just can't think of anything else.

What do you think?

Thanks for your help.
Regards

Remember that when you change retention periods in the config files
this applies to new volumes only. To get it to apply to existing
volumes you need to execute the following 2 commands in bconsole
(answering the prompts for each command):

update pool from resource

update all volumes in pool

Although not your problem (since DRC202L5 was written yesterday), I
see that you have a 7 day retention period on these volumes. Not the
60 that is in your config.
