I have run into tape libraries that require the tape to be unloaded from the drive before performing an unload command.
The mtx-changer script supports this feature. You need to change the .../etc/mtx-changer.conf file, specifically the line # Set to 1 if you want to do offline before unload offline=0 In the example from below mtx -f /dev/sg3 load 1 0 mtx -f /dev/sg3 unload 1 0 add a command to unload the tape from the drive between the two lines mt -f <tape device> offline -----Original Message----- From: Sebastian Suchanek <bac...@suchanek.de> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2019 12:53 PM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] mtx and mtx-changer not functioning ◆ This message was sent from a non-UWYO address.

My best guess is that either your library and your version of mtx are incompatible or your library is broken (e.g. faulty firmware).
