With the hard disks constantly available, I'm having a stable setup 
using the project-provided disk-changer script.

Essentially, you define a virtual autochanger with a configured number 
of slots and drives. You should limit the volume size Bacula generates 
for those devices to ensure you don't run out of disk space.

Current SD device status:

Autochanger "File01" with devices:
    "File01a" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive0)
    "File01b" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive1)
    "File01c" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive2)
    "File01d" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive3)
    "File01e" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive4)
Autochanger "File03" with devices:
    "File03a" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive0)
    "File03b" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive1)
    "File03c" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive2)
    "File03d" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive3)
    "File03e" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive4)

and

Device "File01a" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive0) is not open.
     Slot 543 is loaded in drive 0.
Device "File01b" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive1) is not open.
     Slot 570 is loaded in drive 1.
Device "File01c" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive2) is not open.
     Slot 471 is loaded in drive 2.
Device "File01d" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive3) is not open.
     Slot 474 is loaded in drive 3.
Device "File01e" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive4) is not open.
     Drive 4 status unknown.
Device "File03a" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive0) is not open.
     Slot 363 is loaded in drive 0.
Device "File03b" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive1) is not open.
     Slot 290 is loaded in drive 1.
Device "File03c" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive2) is not open.
     Drive 2 status unknown.
Device "File03d" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive3) is not open.
     Drive 3 status unknown.
Device "File03e" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive4) is not open.
     Drive 4 status unknown.

Lots of slots to manage, which makes using bconsole a bit hard, but 
there's always BAT :-)

Cheers,

Arno
