Re: unable to run scheduled jobs

In bconsole -> status -> storage, under running jobs, I could see:

Writing: Incremental Backup job skippy_backup JobId=5093 Volume=""
     pool="lto_weekly_pool" device="Quantum LTO-8 HH" (/dev/nst0)

These are old, unfinished or cancelled jobs. Neither of the volumes 
mentioned is currently inserted into the drive.

When I try to cancel any of them it says it's not running:

*cancel jobid=5113
Warning Job JobId=5113 is not running.

What made them all disappear was a full server reboot.

Possibly a storage and director restart would have sufficed).

All subsequent scheduled jobs completed fine.

Is it a bug resulting in zombie jobs being left hanging like that?
