For about a year I ran it this way because bacula was not handling my 2 drive changer correctly. It would often want to remove a tape from drive 1 to place it in drive 0 which already had a different tape loaded so it would have to unload that tape first and repeat this cycle every night. Recently that problem was fixed and I use only the changer resource for jobs. But things like label barcodes I can have it run that on drive 1 instead of drive 0 if I want by specifying the drive directly.
