Thank you Chris and Martin!
What I then did was use the Baculum Volumes view, filter for all volumes that
are not purged and set them to Purged. It is easier in Baculum than I initially
thought.
Then I used a job to run: truncate volume allpools storage=mystorage
That was easy enough for me,
I wrote a couple of scripts to help with this problem. Start by deleting all
the jobs that you don’t want anymore. This should mark all the associated
volumes as ‘purged’. That can be done in bconsole or Baculum.
This one deletes any ‘purged’ volume records from the catalog.
#!/bin/bash
You can use the "delete volume" command in bconsole to remove a volume from
the catalog. After that, you can safely rm it from the filesystem.

get a list of 2 volumes. When entering a media id I get this:

it tells me it purged a number of jobs, but no volume got truncated

You can use the purge command to recycle the desired volumes prematurely.
Rgds.
Or asked differently: Is it possible to declare all volumes as expired without
having to execute a command for each existing volume individually? (something
like “set all volumes to expired”)?

Thank you Heitor,
if I understand those directives correctly, it will only truncate expired
volumes. My volumes are by far not yet expired, still I want to truncate them.
Is that possible?
Best,

Dear all,
again another newbie question:
I need to use a different disk drive for Bacula and I would like to start over
in the sense of deleting all volume files in a clean way, i.e. not corrupting
the catalog. The goal is to free up the space occupied by all Bacula volumes.
