I believe I can get the behavior I want by setting all of my volumes

I didn't follow this thread, but what behaviour would that be? I use two autochangers and tapes in three pools in them, and I never had any problems with that setup since 1.38.something.


I was unable to do this in the Bacula console interface as
any time I would mark a volume InChanger=0, it would mark
the other volume that was already InChanger=1 for hat slot
to InChanger=0.  I *was* able to get the functionality I
want by modifying the database directly in mysql to set all
Media InChanger=1.

You should not set the InChanger fields manually. There is other data to consider, too, like StorageId and Slot, and Kern will not support you when you tweak the database manually.

This just seems broken to me, though.  Bacula should
automatically check what tapes are currently in the loader
every time it runs a job.  Why doesn't it do this?

Because
- You should use the appropriate command only when you change the tapes loaded: 'update slots [scan] storage=xxx' - Doing the necessary steps whenever Bacula accesses the tape inventory will be very very time consuming. Ask the people who use the really big libraries... You should simply not change the tape inventory and not tell Bacula about it.
