[Bacula-users] Maximum Volume Jobs && Maximum Concurrent Jobs

[Mathieu A. <ma...@ma...>]

Hi,

I have a pretty busy director, with lan and wan backups (wan being behind dsl
lines). I'm using a File storage.
I was using Maximum Concurent jobs = 1 until now, and I'm using a Pool with
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1, so that every job goes in it's own file. I started
growing maximum concurent jobs to 5, and from now, many jobs were writing to
the same media, even if they should not. I believe that's because when a new
media is created, the VolJobs is not incremented, but it's incremented at the
end of the job. That's fine, I guess.
The thing that is not fine, I believe is that when a Pool has Maximum Volume
Jobs = 1, every media should be used once, that mean even if there is one
Media available with ValJobs = 0 and which VolStatus = Append, it should not
be used because if it's there, that's because someone may be using it, and
so, a new one should be created.
Or maybe, I should use a Volume Use Duration of 0 seconds, I'm wondering :)
