Hi Kevin, we're having the same "problem" although I am unsure if this isn't a feature of bacula trying to preserve data as long as possible. So far, I haven't found a way around bacula trying to mount removed volumes short of manually setting the removed volumes to status "archive". You can check the list archive for what I had hoped "update slots" would achieve, but it only covers certain aspects of what's needed (imho) when juggling around entire cartridges full of tapes.
