I am running Bacula 1.38.11 under CentOS 4.4 with a Quantum SuperLoader3
LTO-3 changer. I have only one magazine for it so it can hold 8 tapes. I
keep a cleaning tape in slot 8 and rotate backup tapes in slots 1-7.
My problem is that sometimes bacula goes into this loop and I just don't
know what to do:
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 3.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 3.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 3.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 3.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 3.
16-Nov 09:28 nts-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command.
16-Nov 09:29 nts-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 3.
Why does it keep doing that, over and over again?

3905 Device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
What the hell does it want from me? I have tried umounting and
remounting, it just goes back into this crazy loop. I tried deleting all
the volumes, erasing all the tapes, doing "label barcode"... it is driving
me NUTS.
I have 2 sets of 7 LTO-3 tapes. I would like to be able to go over to the
colocation site where the drive is once a week, remove the used tapes and
put in fresh ones, and have bacula continue to back up every night. But
everytime I have to change the tapes it literally takes me DAYS of
screwing with it before it stabilizes again.
