[Bacula-users] Error - The number of files mismatch

[Bradley Schatz]

Hi,

I am a newcomer to using bacula, and am being stung by what must be pretty obvious to veterans. I have read the manual cover to cover in search of answers, but cant seem to figure this out.

I am consistently having tapes marked with an error as follows:

11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: Volume "Daily01" previously written, moving to end of data.
11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: NightlySaveFoundry.2006-04-11_03.05.00 Error: I canot write on Volume "Daily01" because:
The number of files mismatch! Volume=27 Catalog=28
11-Apr 08:23 foundry-sd: Marking Volume "Daily01" in Error in Catalog.
11-Apr 08:25 foundry-dir: Recycled volume "Daily03"

What causes this kind of off by one error? And how can I completely "reset" the state of a particular volume to empty to start again?

Thanks,

bradley
