Package: bacula-sd
Version: 1.38.11-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

(first, I'm not sure whether this is the right package to submit
against; feel free to reassign if necessary).

When a bacula tape becomes inconsistent with what bacula has recorded
about that particular tape, for any reason (e.g., when there was an
error writing to the database because the disk filled, or when the
director crashed when a backup job was in progress), then bacula will
mark the tape as being 'in error'. This makes it impossible to
distinguish between such a case and a case of a /real/ tape error.

It would probably be best to create a new state, 'Inconsistent' or some
such, to be assigned to tapes of which the data as stored in the
database does not correspond to the data as found on the tape itself.
This would make it easier for a system administrator to figure out what
the correct course of action is when a failure occurs (e.g., manually
recycle the tape, or throw it away in case of a /real/ error).
