Thanks for the reply Alex, looks like I've found to issue.
I get the following output from update slots
*update slots
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: SUN-L280
3: L280-Library
Select Storage resource (1-3): 3
Connecting to Storage daemon L280-Library at pubslut:9103 ...
Connecting to Storage daemon L280-Library at pubslut:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "L280-Library" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
If I then update init.d bacula-sd startup to use the user root as
opposed to bacula and then re-run update slots:
*update slots
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: SUN-L280
3: L280-Library
Select Storage resource (1-3): 3
Connecting to Storage daemon L280-Library at pubslut:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "L280-Library" has 8 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon L280-Library at pubslut:9103 ...
3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded.
3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes.
So now I just need to find what permission the bucula user is missing, I
currently have:
