Ciao Fabrizio,
I'll answer in English, to be understood by the list.
There are no direct indexes pointing to files from Jobs or Volumes, so deletion of them at each pruning would be very expensive in terms of resources.
Anyway you can delete unuseful items using dbcheck. I have in a daily crontab this command:

/usr/sbin/dbcheck -f -b -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf > /tmp/dbcheck.log 2>&1

This should free some space for reuse. If you want to shrink the database you must save it with:

/etc/bacula/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula

Then you must drop and rebuld the DB (or drop all its tables) and restore it with:

mysql bacula < /var/bacula/bacula.sql

I hope this will be useful for you or someone else.

Oggetto
[Bacula-users] File table - inconsistency





Hi to all.

I am a bacula-newbie, and I am trying to use it in a production
environment.
I have notice a weird thing about the File table in bacula database: in
this table, the lines of the files belonging to expired job aren't
deleted so this table will always grow...
Is this correct? And if it is, could you please tell me why is this
done?

I have experienced such things both on PostgreSQL and MySQL, so I think
that this thing is not an error depending on the database engine...

Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me to understand this thing.
