I am confused by errors. I could manually load a tape, label it, and backup on it...
*mount Automatically selected Storage: SRV1-sd 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command. 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 8. block.c:1010 Read error on fd=7 at file:blk 0:0 on device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0).

Why can't I just label the tapes with barcodes ? (and I'm gathering by the error message reported to the console that bacula doesn't recognize that the tape has been loaded from the autochanger mechanism) Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
