It does not seem to be the case.
And now came Wednesday night. During the day, the 1st setup backup (unblocked manually through mount) was canceled because of the MaxUseTime reached. So, the last job's RunAfterJob shell was not run, and the tape was not ejected. The tape was ejected by hand at 17:00 and substituted with new one. No job was on the queue after 16:00.
- 1st setup ran the job at 11:00pm. This morning I found it was still waiting for the volume.....but the correct volume was inside the LTO!!!!....I had to run mount again by hand!! WHY?!?!?
- 2nd setup ran everything fine.
This is the SD config:
Device {
Name = QUANTUM
Media Type = LTO
Archive Device = /dev/rst22
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
RemovableMedia = yes;
}

Hi Gabriele,
This may be a red herring - but I have noticed - and I am not sure of
the exact circumstances - that even though you stop the bacula daemons,
there may be "orphaned" (for lack of a better word) bacula-dir
daemon(s) still running on the system.
The easiest way to find out is probably to execute
ps -ef | grep bacula
after you have stopped bacula. I have seen these orphaned processes
quite frequently.
