Item n: single release command that releases all drives in an auto changer in
sequence
Origin: Blake Dunlap (bl...@nxs.net)

Status: Request
What: It would be nice if there was a release command that would release
all drives in an autochanger instead of having to do each one in turn.
Why: It can take some time for a release to occur, and the commands must
be given for each drive in turn, which can quicky scale if there are several
drives in the library. (Having to watch the console, to give each command can
waste a good bit of time when you start getting into the 16 drive range when
the tapes can take up to 3 minutes to eject each)
Notes: Due to the way some autochangers/libraries work, you cannot assume
that new tapes inserted will go into slots that are not currently believed to
be in use by bacula (the tape from that slot is in a drive). This would make
any changes in configuration quicker/easier, as all drives need to be released
before any modifications to slots.
