If you use actual disks as "magazines" with vchanger, you need to

bacula do it for you (last I looked that functionality didn't work w/
autochangers).
If you use disk "magazines" you also need to consider the whole-disk
failure. If you use one big filesystem, use RAID (of course) to guard
against those. But then you should look at the number of file volumes:
some filesystems handle large numbers of directory entries better than
others and you may want to balance the volume file size vs the number
of directory entries.
Regarding the number of directory entries...
It is common to see the file system limit of 32000 directories per
directory.
The number of files per directory is far bigger and is unlikely to
get reached, especially not for this use case.
