Now that you mention it, I think I saw that. I'll have to search the
archives.

I tried that (unmount, format/prepare, label), didn't work.

The DVD's not fresh (it was previously labelled as DVD-005, but I ran
into trouble when it came to recycling used DVDs so I decided to start
over with 1.39.22 and see how its faring now), but I DID manage to wipe
its fs (I tried mounting it outside of bacula and it indeed failed).

Before starting I dropped all of bacula's tables and recreated them, so
the catalog's fresh and clean.

I'll have to check.
It's really strange, all the other DVD+RWs (14 of the 15 I'm testing
with) worked fine, only DVD-005 refuses to let itself get relabelled.
(Could it be damaged somehow?)

Sounds good. DVDs are about the only affordable solution that could
replace my old Onstream IDE Tape drive. (I love the LTO-2 autoloader
that I have working with my other Bacula install, but its a little over
my private budget. ;) )
I'll keep you updated if I find anything.
Greetings,
Michel
