there are several ways to avoid this.
One is to set "Maximum Concurrent Read Jobs" to less than half the
available devices of your autochanger. That would be one in your case.
Another one is to first add more devices as needed on the SD side (keep
in mind, disk devices are essentially coming for free, and adding more
can be as simple as running a small shell script loop and sed :-) and
only then setting the above directive as needed.
And as a side note, timeouts are better than infinite waiting, but you
might want to consider message delivery and monitoring as well.
Reserving devices on the SD side using Autoselect=no and explicitly
using them by the DIR's job configuration is also possible, but makes
things more opaque and harder to maintain in my opinion.
Hope this gets you forward,
Arno
