Well, I've partially solved my own problem but don't know how to get Bacula to do it automatically. The working sequence of load and eject is as follows: mtx -f /dev/sg0 load 1 mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind (OR WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING) mt -f /dev/nst0 offline mtx -f /dev/sh0 unload 1 The catch seems to be needing the offline command, but how do I get that into the bacula changer script and where???
