Yes, correct. However, your email wasn't as explicit so I didn't take proper notice. The above is not really a bug, but let's say a design flaw in that two things are going on here: 1. In 1.38.x only drive 0 was unloaded during an "update slots" command and any drive specified was ignored. During an "update slots" Bacula probably never should have unloaded any drives, but that's what it does. 2. If you were doing an "update slots scan" then drive 0 probably will be unloaded (I haven't looked at the code), but Bacula *should* use the drive specified if any for reading the Volume labels (I haven't looked at the code). In version 1.39.22 and above, Bacula should not unload any drive during an "update slots" command, and hopefully (I haven't tested it) it will only access the drive you specify (if any) if you do "update slots scan". So the output you list above is perfectly normal given the design of 1.38. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
