I am attempting to back up ~ 10TB of data to some internal HDs. These drives are not used for any purpose other than bacula; indeed the whole server does nothing but bacula.
The problem is bacula keeps trying to write to a drive that it already filled. There are other drives that are still empty.
This is the output of “status Storage” from bconsole. You can see it knows Available Space=0 B on InternalC08, but it keeps trying to create a volume there anyway. At the bottom of this email I have included a portion of my bacula-sd.conf. Thank you in advance for any guidance you may provide. Even just referring me to a bacula forum would really help.
