Hello Eric, A recent "subtle" change to dird/ua_cmds.c causes at least one (possibly more) regression scripts to fail. I haven't checked, but I suspect that you made the change when you were fixing Andreas' SQL problems.
Basically, the change forces the Recycle Pool to be the default value as defined by the pool. Previously the Recycle Pool was considered something to be Volume dependent, and thus was not reset during normal volume operations (i.e. moving from pool to pool). The consequences of this change are if you set the Scratch volumes to return to the Scratch pool when they are recycled, they do not. Although I can see that users might want a way to force Scratch volumes to remain in the Pool where they are used, I don't think this will be the default. In any case, it breaks the current regression scripts, which count on Scratch volumes coming back to the Scratch pool (providing the Scratch pool has itself set a Recycle Pool). Now, my question is: was this change absolutely necessary to fix Andreas' problem. If so, could you explain it to me so that I understand. If not, do you have any objection to me putting it back. What happens is the following: Scratch Pool Volume X , Recycle Pool = Scratch Pool Volume X moved to Default Pool Default Pool has Recycle Pool = NULL Volume X Recycle Pool set to NULL (previously it was unchanged) Volume X recycled and left in Default Pool The regression script blocks because there are no more volumes in Inc pool and no Scratch Volumes. So with the new code, there is no way to make the Volume come back to the Scratch pool. With the old code, if the user set or left: Volume X , Recycle Pool = NULL then when it was moved to the Default Pool, it would have remained in the Default pool when it was recycled because a NULL Recycle Pool means to leave it in the same pool.
