Greetings -
I believe this is a config error as I've seen other posts related to
older versions stating this has been fixed, but I can't figure it out.
. . .
When I try to do something with the autochanger, such as label
barcodes or run a backup, I can only send it to the first drive
configured.
Bacula 2.4.3
On SLES 10 SP2
Autochanger is a SpectraLogic T200 with 60 slots and 4 IBM Ultrium4
LTO4 drives (one drive is down with hardware issues) over iSCSI:

Storage {

Here's what happens when I label barcodes:
*label barcodes slots=2-5
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: T200-1
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 1
Connecting to Storage daemon T200-1 at cbi-lip6.site.com:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "T200-1-Drive-0" has 60 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon T200-1 at cbi-lip6.site.com:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
The following Volumes will be labeled:
Slot Volume
==============
2 041771L4
3 041770L4
4 041773L4
5 041774L4
Do you want to label these Volumes? (yes|no):
I entered Drive 1 for the autochanger drive and it picks Drive 0. No
matter what drive I select, same thing.
Same thing for mount:
*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: T200-1
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 3
Enter autochanger slot: 6
3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 5, drive 0" command.
3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 6, drive 0" command.
3305 Autochanger "load slot 6, drive 0", status is OK.
3001 Mounted Volume: 041775L4
3001 Device "T200-1-Drive-0" (/dev/nst0) is already mounted with
Volume "041775L4"
*status

Device "T200-1-Drive-0" (/dev/nst0) is mounted with:

Slot 6 is loaded in drive 0.

Device "T200-1-Drive-3" (/dev/nst2) is not open.
Drive 3 status unknown.

Now, after I unload the drive:
*status
<snipped>
Device status:
Autochanger "T200-1" with devices:
"T200-1-Drive-0" (/dev/nst0)
"T200-1-Drive-2" (/dev/nst1)
"T200-1-Drive-3" (/dev/nst2)
Device "T200-1-Drive-0" (/dev/nst0) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED. User unmounted.
Drive 0 status unknown.
Device "T200-1-Drive-2" (/dev/nst1) is not open.
Drive 2 status unknown.
Device "T200-1-Drive-3" (/dev/nst2) is not open.
Drive 3 status unknown.
====
</snipped>
I believe the "status unknown" for each of the remaining drives is a
clue. Possible bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
