We recently replaced a working LTO5 + Scalar i40 jukebox with an IBM
LTO8 tape + Scalar i3 jukebox. The controller and all software remained
the same. I am suspecting a configuration problem and would greatly
appreciate guidance.

When I tried to label the new tapes it loaded the first one fine, labled
it fine, then failed miserably to unload it. I tried adding the "Offline
On Unmount" command to the config (see below) but that didn't help.

I then tried running
  /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/tape/0
which worked fine until it got to the 'test the autochanger' part of the test, then failed just as miserably. The results are different (I/O errors) if the unmount
setting is there, but it fails either way.

I'll attach two script files that show various btape runs. Note that between
the tests I did the following reset:
    sudo mt -f /dev/tape/0 rewoffl
    sudo mtx -f /dev/changer/0 unload 1
    sudo mtx -f /dev/changer/0 load 1

Nothing interesting shows up in the system logs.

I would turn on debug in mtx-changer.conf - set debug_level=100 - and see what comes out.
