Hello Thomas,
no i've not changed the scripts. I found two options max autochanger
wait and max open wait in bacula documentation, which could help.
After changing firmware and driver i will change these two options to
5 minuts.
Probably, these options will not be neccessary with the correct
firmware (and driver-module). They should not harm either?
Greetings,
Markus
