Hi Kern et al,
Thanks very much for that - yes ...
I must always read the full ReleaseNotes for all major versions when upgrading.

That new (Autochanger) resource makes eminent sense though.
I appear to be running properly now, I did have a new hiccup though'
(My usual gripe - but not really anything to do with bacula)....
The mtx-changer script - someone added a bit of (counter) code that used a bash
specific facility.
- naughty!, some of us still have to use the original bourne shell.
Had to replace the portion of script with a simple loop (although someone else
on the mailing-list suggested a bit of perl).
I can't really just install bash on the system - its a production system.
Ah well such is the fragmented world of unix :)
I do however have the following minor (out of interest) queries:
The V10 DB has a tables "Device", "Location", "LocationLog", "Log", and
"UnsavedFiles" which aren't populated.
Curiosity begs me to ask what these tables are for?
Thanks again - I particularly like the "reload" bconsole command - what a
time-saver!.
