The last full jobs completed successfully, with no write error or so.
The only problem could be a database issue (I'm using PostgreSQL) ...
but I'm pretty sure that it's not the case

This is my pool definition :
Pool {
Name = full-tape-pool
PoolType = Backup
LabelFormat = "Full-Tape-"
Recycle = yes
RecycleOldestVolume = yes
MaximumVolumes = 18
MaximumVolumeJobs = 0
VolumeUseDuration = 0
VolumeRetention = 30 days
CatalogFiles = yes
AutoPrune = yes
AcceptAnyVolume = no
}
and for the jobs I haven't modified the job retention or file retention.
All I want in fact is that the tape gets recycled after 30 days.

In this case Full-Tape-0004 has been purged, but not 0003 and 0002
(which is incorrect because the last written comes before) :
| 11 | Full-Tape-0002 | Full | 87,664,052,882 | 92 |
2,592,000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | AIT2 | 2006-07-24 05:24:59 |
| 33 | Full-Tape-0003 | Full | 70,990,768,430 | 75 |
2,592,000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | AIT2 | 2006-07-31 03:50:22 |
| 39 | Full-Tape-0004 | Purged | 90,224,088,423 | 92 |
2,592,000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | AIT2 | 2006-08-01 06:03:19 |
When I query those tapes (Full-Tape-000[2|3]), no jobs are on them :
(...)
14: List Jobs stored for a given Volume name
15: List Volumes Bacula thinks are in changer
16: List Volumes likely to need replacement from age or errors
Choose a query (1-16): 14
Enter Volume name: Full-Tape-0003
No results to list.
