This should work 100% of the time. It has for me for the 80 tapes I have had it label. When I add new tapes, I wait 5 minutes for my 24 slot changer to stop doing inventory then after that I issue update slots since I changed tapes. After that I run label barcodes and put all new tapes in the Scratch pool. > I would like to be > able to just insert new tapes and let bacula automatically label them using > the barcode read from the tape. > > Is this possible, and if so, how ? > I am not sure of that.

This is actually normal behavior. As for crashing bacula-sd, I have never had that happen on a label barcodes.
