Hello,
If Bacula is truncating Volumes that were labelled with an older version
of Bacula, I am not surprised. However if it is truncating volumes that
were labelled with the current version and have not been written, I am
surprised because I do not remember reading that in your email. If it
is truncating unwritten volumes then it is probably a bug that should be
clearly documented and reported.
I don't imagine it is doing any "serious" harm but it still sounds odd
and not what I would expect. If it has something to do with the
different label size (quite likely) as Martin suggests, I also hope that
it only happens once and only for old pre-labelled volumes.
Best regards,
Kern

Hello,
I do not remember the exact details of the code, but if you enter:
prune expired volumes
truncate allpools
I would expect Bacula to be quite aggressive pruning and truncating, so I am
pretty sure that Bacula is doing what you asked it to do.
That's a *CHANGE* from 7.x, whrre it would truncate the newly pruned files, and
NOT
the existing label only files.
Best regards,
Kern
