Package: bacula-sd
Version: 2.2.8-5
Severity: important
I'm using DD3 4 tape autochanger (1 drive). I've noticed when backup is
longer than one volume (in my case: ~10GB) sd crashes almost every time,
when it cannot find next volume.
Lets say we have 2x4 tapes - 1-4 in one block and 5-8 in another.
When bacula fills tape no 4 and try to find tape 5. It looks for that
tape in slot 1, but in autochanger we have tapes 1-4, so it gets tape 1.
Before version 2.2.8-4 bacula sends me an email and waits for correct tape.
Now bacula-sd crashes, which renders whole backup unusable, because director
marks it "Error".
