Hi, 

I backup multiple servers to my bareos server, these are all type=File based backups.
This has run fine for multiple months, but now I have lots of errors:

If I go to storages -> volumes, all my volumes have a status 'error'.
The volumes are not full (maximum bytes is 10.74GB, current bytes varies from 1.51KB, to a couple of GB's).
All my backup jobs remain 'queued'.

How do I start to fix this?  Is there an easy way to clear/delete all volumes and start over without deleting all my defined jobs/etc...

I have restarted postgres, bareos-fd, bareos-sd, and bareos-dir a week ago, and it ran OK for a day of two afterwards, but now the same problem occurs.

best regards,
Andy

I got volumes in error when having write problems. Once it was full FS, once the mounted FS becomes RO, once the mount itself was broken, permissions also could be a problem. But every time it was problem to write the volume.
Be sure that the server is OK and you can write with user bareos.

I found that most easy way to fix volumes in "error" state is to remove them, bareos will create new good one.
