Sorry, everything, didn't hit reply to all:
Thanks Bill for getting back to me. The label that I have shown is what
Bacula automatically labeled the tape. That I have set in on of my conf
files. What I have done is tried to start over with the tapes. I purged
all the jobs for it, deleted the volume for good measure, then I rewinded
the tape and ran a mt -f /dev/st0 weof. I have now moved the tape, which I
only have one tape in the total tape unit, back to slot 1. After I did all
that, I ran the update slots command I got this message:
Connecting to Storage daemon LTO4Tape at mystorageserver:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "DLT-S4" has 8 slots.
Connecting to Storage daemon LTO4Tape at mystorageserver:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command.
No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes.
When I ran the label barcodes command, I received the same error as above.
I am still convinced that this is something to do with my entries in the
bacula-sd.conf for this unit. I think that is where the hangup is.
