Is it aborting in the middle of the job, or does it finish one job, then
stop and declare the tape used?
If the latter is the case, it's doing exactly what you told it to do:
> Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
You've told it to write one job, and ONLY one job, per volume, and then
mark that volume as Used.
The "Maximum Volume Jobs" directive is one that a lot of people use
without really understanding what it does or why they're using it, and
in most cases they shouldn't be. There are cases in which you want that
directive, but they're generally exceptional cases with special
requirements. If you're a beginning Bacula user and you think you need
to use Maximum Volume Jobs, the odds are you're mistaken.
On the other hand, if it's aborting in the middle of the job, then
that's a separate problem. Have you run a btape test on your storage
device and verified that it's correctly configured?
