Hello,

I'm having issues keeping my backups running smoothly to a adv_file disk device. They continue to fill up without reclaiming space from the recyclable/expired save sets.

I have a 2 week retention/browse policy setup in both the Media Pool and Group configuration (I'm still waiting on tapes for longer retention). My adv_file device eventually fills (about 3 - 3.5 weeks after backups start) and backups begin to fail:

"...Waiting for more available space on filesystem..."

I understand that all other dependent save sets must also be recyclable. Unless I'm missing something here there should be 6 incrementals and a full, once those all expire that set should be recyclable?

• The recycle setting it set to auto not manual
• Auto media management is checked

nsirm -X shows I have 124 recyclable sets - these sets have the "cE" flag set.

Even when trying to clean this up manually using nsrmm and nsrstage -v -C -V I receive:

"...failed with the error 'volume mounted on adv_file disk is  reading..."

This was the only way I could clear space in the past but this won't even work anymore

Help meh!
