Hi folks,

I need to reduce the number of volumes in a pool from 3 full backups
to just 2 (each client has its own pools for incr. and full backups
with the appropriate number of volumes; MaxVolJobs is set to 1
naturally).

I updated the Maximum volumes parameter in the pool definition
(bacula-dir.conf, changed it from 3 to 2) and did an

update pools from resource 

after restarting bacula.

However the update command output still has "MaxVols" at 3 instead of
the new value, "2".

I also tried updating the pool table (hehe :)) manually using an
update statement in mysql, but after a short while the "MaxVols"
paramater for the pool in question changed back to "3" instead of "2".

I'm 100% certain bacula uses the updated configuration (I checked for
stray bacula processes after etc/bacula stop).

It would be great if someone could shed some light on this. Maybe I
need to delete the oldest volumes from the pool first? However I don't
see how that should affect the MaxVols parameter of the pool
definition.

Details:
CentOS 6
bacula 9.2.1 compiled from source
MariaDB backend


All the best & bye for now,

Uwe
