Hi Alan
Sorry about recalling this subject.
I believe that in if understand this correctly I might be able to
help too other people.
You say, about the "update slots" command , «assuming the drive is
empty AND there is nothing actively attempting to using the drive ».
The "update slots" command its not save because in order to bacula
know which tape is in the slots, it needs to load all the tapes on the
drive in order to read their labels, right?
If so, and saying that my tape loader can read barcodes and bacula
is using them to label the tapes, can i say that in this case its safe
even though its not the recommended way to do it?
When you say «This behaviour is corrected in late 1.39 betas», you
mean about the the mount issue?
Thanks for your help.
I which you a merry Christmas.
