From time to time my library messes up a tape change, but the mtx-changer script (modified by me) detects this and exits with return value of 1 to indicate failure. In this case, bacula kills the job with a Fatal Error. I would prefer that bacula ask for operator intervention to fix the tape load and then continue after I manually mount it. Otherwise all the time it spent writing tapes up to the point of failure is wasted and must be run again. Does that make sense? Is it possible? A feature request maybe?
Here is some sample output from such a case: 11-Jul 06:19 khyber-sd JobId 3179: End of Volume "A0000008" at 197:8966 on device "VXA3drive" (/dev/nst0).
