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?
When there is no barcode reader, yes.
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?
No, even with a barcode reader, update slots attempts to unmount/unload
tape drive 0 - if the drive is in use it will fail to run.
When you say «This behaviour is corrected in late 1.39 betas», you mean
about the the mount issue?
According to Kern, it no longer unloads the tape drive and can be run
while jobs are in progress.
