Through some trickery (loaded the tape into the drive from outside bacula, and then mounted in bacula), I was able to get it to use the tape in slot 3 for that backup, but I did not get so lucky with the next backup. Initially it could not eject the previous tape because of the confusion of slots. Then, once I manually loaded the correct tape outside of bacula and mounted, it did not recognize that it had the correct tape and attempted to eject it: *messages 04-Aug 08:40 billie-sd JobId 1729: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 7, drive 0" command. 04-Aug 08:40 billie-sd JobId 1729: 3995 Bad autochanger "unload slot 7, drive 0": ERR=Child exited with code 1 Results=Storage Element 6 is Already Full 04-Aug 08:40 billie-sd JobId 1729: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command. 04-Aug 08:40 billie-sd JobId 1729: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 7. 04-Aug 01:59 billie-sd JobId 1729: Please mount Volume "A0000007" or label a new one for: Job: MailBackup.2010-08-01_01.10.00.33 Storage: "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) Pool: Servers Media type: VXA-2 *exit billie:~# mtx -f /dev/sg2 status Storage Changer /dev/sg2:1 Drives, 10 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 3 Loaded):VolumeTag = A0000005 Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A0000006 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=B0000005 Storage Element 3:Empty:VolumeTag= Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A0000004 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=B0000004 Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=C0000005 Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A0000007 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=C0000006 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A0000010 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=CLNA0001 billie:~# mtx -f /dev/sg2 unload 3 Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 3...done billie:~# mtx -f /dev/sg2 load 7 Loading media from Storage Element 7 into drive 0...done billie:~# bconsole Connecting to Director 127.0.0.1:9101 1000 OK: billie-dir Version: 2.4.4 (28 December 2008) Enter a period to cancel a command. *mount Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog" The defined Storage resources are: 1: Exabyte 2: File Select Storage resource (1-2): 1 3001 OK mount.
