Hi Sebastian, thank you very much for this suggestion.
I tried release instead of unmont, but this did not change the behavior. Addidtionally, this would not help/explain the behavior at restart.

The same happens, if I "unmount" the tape using bconsole. > [...] At home, I'm running a tape library with LTO tapes for Bacula to do backups on. But since I want to limit the noise and energy consumption of the library, I only power on the library when backups are due and shut it down again after the backups. I have this done automatically with a few little scripts and a power switch which can be controlled via TCP/IP. At first I ran into a lot of problems when tapes remained in the LTO drives at shutdown until I figured out to use the "release" command in bconsole console prior to shutdown. "unmount" also caused some unexpected problems. Long story short: have also tried the "release" command instead of the "unmount" command?
