I would actually go into the bacula database and look to make sure everything matches up. I know it's supposed to "just work", but I have had to do this once or twice. I think this is because I've accidently moved things and I have an ADIC VLT400 which doesn't have barcode capabilities.

mysql> select MediaId,VolumeName,Slot from Media;

So I'm still having problems.  Here's what's new:

The database is all correct:

30 rows in set (0.00 sec)


As you can see, there are two sets of backup tapes, 61xx and 62xx.  Any
time I change which set of tapes is in the loader, or if I restart the
dir daemon, I have to do an "update slots" in order for Bacula to realize
which set of tapes are in the loader.  I have another loader that does
not require me to take any action when swapping the tape set or starting
the daemon.  There are two significant differences between these systems:

1) The other system is running bacula 1.36 whereas the problem system is
   running 1.38

2) The other system has no barcode scanner whereas the problem system does
   and is loaded with tapes with barcodes on them.  (The barcodes on this
   system are being read correctly.)

So:

a) Did anything change between 1.36 and 1.38 regarding how tape info is
read?

b) Is there a possible difference between the way Bacula handles tape
   reading on a system with a barcode scanner vs. a system without?

I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
