This is the device configuration for the storage daemon.
So 'Always Open' is on.
But I'll try to use Always Open = no.
This way Bacula should rewind and reposition the tape just before writing.
So there shouldn't be any chance for the drive to rewind without bacula
knowing about it.
It's not the rewinding bothering me, but the rewinding without baculas
knowledge and the subsequent overwrite of the tape label.
Device {
Name = LTO
Media Type = LTO
Archive Device = /dev/scsi/nsth1-c800c0i6l0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/scsi/sgh1-c800c0i5l0
AutoChanger = yes
Maximum Spool Size = 38654705664;
Spool Directory = /opt/bacula-spool
}
For last night I relabelled the tapes and started the longest backup run
manually.

Bacula recycled the next best volume. Reads the label and positions the tape.
1h45m it writes to the tape and fails. Label is again overwritten.
