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".
     Current Volume "Backup2Set2Tape12" not acceptable because:
     1998 Volume "Backup2Set2Tape12" status is Full, not in Pool.
21-Mar 12:11 chetroketl-sd: Please mount Volume "Backup2Set2Tape15" on 
Storage Device "AIT3 Autoloader" for Job 
atlantis_config_week_2.2007-03-21_12.11.25

Also, status sd reports:

Device status:
Archive "AIT3 Autoloader" is not open or does not exist.
     Device is BLOCKED waiting for append able media

What happened and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Charles
