RecyclePool = <pool-resource-name>
On versions 2.1.4 or greater, this directive defines to which pool the
Volume will be placed (moved) when it is recycled. Without this directive, a
Volume will remain in the same pool when it is recycled. With this directive,
it can be moved automatically to any existing pool during a recycle. This
directive is probably most useful when defined in the Scratch pool, so that
volumes will be recycled back into the Scratch pool. For more on the see the
Scratch Pool section of this manual.
An example :
Pool {
Name = Default
...
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
Pool {
Name = Week
# no recyclepool
...
}
Pool {
Name = 10Years
RecyclePool = Trash
...
}
Pool {
Name = Scratch
...
}
Pool {
Name = Trash
...
}
When Default pool needs a volume, it will take a new one from Scratch, and
the RecyclePool will be set to "Scratch".
When a volume from Default pool will be purged, the volume will go to the
Scratch. (RecyclePool will not change, it doesn't matter)
When 10Years pool needs a volume, it will take a new one from Scratch, and
will go (and stay) to Trash when it will be purged.
When Week pool needs a volume, it will be take from Scratch, and will stay
forever in this pool. Because, user don't have set RecyclePool= option.
This option is designed for that, nothing else.
