The programmers have added a different option for trying to use multiple drives in the same pool. Instead of using "Prefer mounted volumes = no" you should "Maximum Concurrent Jobs " per device a try http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html#SECTION00510000000000000000 I've been running with this newer config for more than a year now with much improved results. I used to get race conditions that would cause bacula to crash using prefer mounted volumes=no and concurrently running 10-15 jobs concurrently on two drives. Also, I believe Kern said that was an "unsupported" configuration a while back, but they do intend to fix any bugs found in the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs " per device code.
