I think the update is not necessary when changing the Volume Format since prior
created volumes are already created and Bacula won't rename them.
I also think Bacula could criticize erratic volume names when reloading. E.g. a
misspelled variable ${Poll} is accepted, and the user will only find the error
when a Job gets stalled unable to create new volumes.
Finally, I think the Bacula configuration default Label Format should be
${Pool}-${NumVols}. Vol- works, but it becomes ugly when you use multiple Pools
such as Daily, Weekly etc. since Volume numeration matches the MediaID. Having
the ${Pool} name on the Volume might also help to distinguish them in a Bacula
disaster recovery scenario.
