The bconsol command 'status director' will show the next volume for
scheduled jobs.
I use this information to store the next correct tape in the device.
Normaly this is not a
problem, except you define a GFS backup cycle like this:

JobDefs {
    Name            = "DDX GFS Default Job"
    Client              = ddx-fd
    Level              = Full
    FileSet           = "DDX GFS Set"
    Storage         = "DDX GFS Archive Storage"
    Pool                = "DDX GFS Full Pool"
    Messages    = Standard
}

Job {
    Name                                        = "DDX GFS Data Backup"
    JobDefs                                   = "DDX GFS Default Job"
    Type                                         = Backup
    Schedule                                 = "Backup Cycle"
    Write Bootstrap                     = "/opt/bacula/working/ddx-fd.bsr"
    Full Backup Pool                  = "DDX GFS Full Pool"
    Differential Backup Pool    = "DDX GFS Differential Pool"
    Incremental Backup Pool  = "DDX GFS Incremental Pool"
}

Pool {
    Name                                    = "DDX GFS Full Pool"
    Pool Type                           = Backup
    Recycle                               = yes
    AutoPrune                           = yes
    Volume Retention            = 3 months
    Label Format                     = "F"
    RecycleOldestVolume  = yes
    Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}

Pool {
    Name                                   = "DDX GFS Differential Pool"
    Pool Type                          = Backup
    Recycle                              = yes
    AutoPrune                          = yes
    Volume Retention           = 3 months
    Label Format                    = "D"
    RecycleOldestVolume = yes
}

Pool {
    Name                                   = "DDX GFS Incremental Pool"
    Pool Type                          = Backup
    Recycle                              = yes
    AutoPrune                          = yes
    Volume Retention           = 3 months
    Label Format                    = "I"
    RecycleOldestVolume = yes
}

The bconsol command 'status director' will show the next correct volume
for the level 'full' as defined in the recource 'Job'. The level for the
scheduled
jobs will displayed correctly but the volume will alway displayed for the
level
'full'.

The volume 'F0007' is wrong. The correct volume must be 'I0002'.
