Hello,

I have several pools in one filestorage directory.
Bacula automatically labels new media as needed with the "LabelMedia = yes"
parameter.

Count Bacula usually labelled each pools media sequentially from 1 going
upwards in steps of one.

Now with my new setup version 5.0.1 he mixes up the pools, so that the next
number in any pool get to be the highest number of all the pools + 1.

Is this intended?
Are there any ways to turn this back to 'normal'?

Thanks

Steen

WOW! You must not have upgraded in some time. I believe this change
came in 2008 or earlier..

Yes. This was a bug fix to prevent duplicate ids being assigned in the
case that the user deleted some volumes.

Not that I know of.

I understand that in terms of each pool, but I do not see that it would be
necessary to make that span the different pools with different label
templates?

A volume can be moved from 1 pool to the other. Also different pools
do not have to have different label templates.
