I finally made it to the forum (instead of the mailing list) so I could read
your output.
For the last problem type mount. If that does not work type status storage and
select tape and post the output.

Only one tape yes, is there a way to preserve the data and re-lable?
I suppose I will also have to roll back a hack I did to the mtx-changer script
to simulate the volumes for the re-labelling to work or can I just ignore it?
Thanks & Regards

Thanks for pointing this out I would have never noticed. Only one volume was
being shown because I had put a barcode on one tape to test the re-labelling. I
have now put barcodes on all tapes, see below:

Didn't receive any barcodes from HP unfortunately so I have printed off some 3
of 9 barcodes (ending with L1,L2...) to stick on tapes - thanks for the tip I
will make sure the label

Hi rory
Thanks for your prompt response. I looked at the link you just provided when I
was setting up Bacula. Just a bit more information, when I was labelling the
volumes, Bacula was not auto-labelling any of the tapes so I had to simulate
the barcodes by following the steps in "Simulating Bar

Hi Guys,
I am new to Bacula and an average Linux user. I am trying to setup Bacula to
work with our HP LTO4 Autochanger (7 slots + 1 mail slot). I have managed to
label all the tapes and I can see all the volumes listed via bconsole. The
problem I am having is Auto-rotating the tapes. Right now
