We're running bacula 1.36.3-1 utilizing a mysql database on Redhat 9 (yes, I know its old, we're stuck due to certain compatibilities) with a AIT tape loader. The backups are split into two pools, data and config, and normally, when running a job that requires a specific pool, bacula has no problem unloading a tape from one pool and loading the required tape from another.
Recently we had the backup server crash in the middle of a backup cycle. After which every time the server needs to load a tape from our config pool it stops, posts a warning, and asks to have the tape loaded manually. If I manually load the tape, the job runs fine. If it needs to run a data pool job, it will switch to that tape, but not back to a config tape next time a job requiring the config pool. Here is an example of the error messages from the log: 21-Mar 12:11 chetroketl-sd: atlantis_config_week_2.2007-03-21_12.11.25 Warning: Director wanted Volume "Backup2Set2Tape15".
