Thanks very much for your reply. I am not sure how to replay to this maillist so I am sending to your email address and the bacula-users list. I will modify once I see how the mail list works.
Before sending the email, I did exactly that. I mounted a tape with mtx-changer and the ran label. That seemed to work. However, I have a tape library that has a barcode reader and in the 1.36.3 documentation P 280, it talks about this: "Bacula provides barcode support with two Console commands, label barcodes and update slots. The label barcodes will cause Bacula to read the barcodes of all the cassettes that are currently installed in the magazine (cassette holder) using the mtx-changer list command. Each cassette is mounted in turn and labeled with the same Volume name as the barcode. The update slots command will rst obtain the list of cassettes and their barcodes from mtx-changer. Then it will find each volume in turn in the catalog database corresponding to to the barcodes and set its Slot to correspond to the value just read. If the Volume is not in the catalog, then nothing will be done. This command is useful for synchronizing Bacula with the current magazine in case you have changed magazines or in case you have moved cassettes from one slot to another." When I tried to run "label barcodes" Connecting to Director banach.math.purdue.edu:9101 1000 OK: banach-dir Version: 1.36.3 (22 April 2005) Enter a period to cancel a command. *label barcode Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula Automatically selected Storage: SDLT1 Connecting to Storage daemon SDLT1 at banach.math.purdue.edu:9103 ... 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded. 3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.

Invalid Volume name: 6:Full:VolumeTag=000070 Illegal character "=" in a volume name. Invalid Volume name: 15:Full:VolumeTag=000015 No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes. The documentation sounds like it is suppose to find the tape, load into the tape drive using the mtx-changer, and label the tape with the barcode.
