[Bacula-users] Autochanger: Tapes are sometimes not changed automatically

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

I have an annoying problem with my autochanger (DELL PowerVault T122, single drive, eight slots):

The mtx-changer script works fine and reliably. But bacula does not always pick up a new tape, when it wants one. It tends to send out an "operator intervention needed" mail and wants me to change the tape. Once that happened, it keeps asking me for changing the tapes. Sometimes a restart helps.

I wasn't able to find any information about this in the list archives or on google, and the message log doesn't mention any problem, except asking every now and then for a new tape.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Christian
