I find that it is sufficient just to do a mount after the eject operation, eg: " #!/bin/sh TAPEDEV=/dev/tape/by-path/pci-0000:01:08.0-scsi-0:0:6:0-nst-nst BCONSOLE=/usr/bin/bconsole SDNAME=bitvs2 echo "unmount storage=bitvs2-tape-sd" | $BCONSOLE -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf >/dev/null 2>/dev/null ssh $SDNAME "/bin/mt -f $TAPEDEV eject 2>/dev/null >/dev/null" echo "mount storage=bitvs2-tape-sd" | $BCONSOLE -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf >/dev/null 2>/dev/null " even though there is no media, bacula still takes control of the tape drive again on mount and just uses whatever media is in there when the next job starts. My SD and DIR are different machines, hence the requirement to use ssh rather than just use mt directly.
