Hello all,

I'm looking to figure out why my autoloader won't autoload with bacula.

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with Bacula 1.36.2.

The changer is an HP 1x9 DLT IV loader.

I'm using the mtx-changer script with the appropriate substitution of 'seq' for 'jot', [although I've also used it with a platform non-specific perl command that I'll post later].

mtx and mtx-changer work fine and load tapes correctly.

Using the btape test for both the drive and the changer work fine.

I've labeled tapes, no prob.

What doesn't work is when I'm running a job, the drive hits the end of the tape and just requests a new tape. I'm looking to make the "auto" part of "autoloader" work.

Any tips?

Here's the exact output from the bconsole:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Here's the appropriate Storage and Director settings:

Help.

Thanks.
