I'm a little unsure how its used in Bacula. If its for automatic labeling of
tapes, or ??? If I issue an update slots command in bconsole, I get this
output, strange that there is an illegal character. Does anyone know how
this output is supposed to look. Just for comparison I have the output of
mtx-changer and mtx also. Should I use the barcodes as my Volume names in my
Pools? Does Bacula still need to label the tapes if thats so?

*update
Update choice:
    1: Volume parameters
    2: Pool from resource
    3: Slots from autochanger
Choose catalog item to update (1-3): 3
The defined Storage resources are:
    1: Mentora_Files
    2: Exabyte_224
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2

Does this output look like it should for mtx-changer?
