Hi Michael,
When the volumes 16 to 26 were created, do you had "Recycle = yes"
configured in this pool? It seems that these volumes were created without
this option configured in your pool. Every change you made in your pools
configurations, they must be updated to the existing volumes in catalog:
update -> pool from resource. And to update all the existing volumes to the
new configurations: update volume -> all volumes from pool (you can use
from all pools if you change more than one pool).
The "recycle pool" directive is not necessary, only if you want to move
your volume to another pool when it is recycled. If you don´t set it, the
volume will remain in the same pool.
Best regards,
Ana
