So I issued update slots: 3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command. Invalid Slot number: /var/lib/bacula/mtx-changer: line 156: MTX: command not found Invalid Slot number: /var/lib/bacula/mtx-changer: line 156: -f: command not found Catalog record for Volume "LD0009L2" updated to reference slot 1. Catalog record for Volume "LD0029L2" updated to reference slot 2. Catalog record for Volume "LD0001L2" updated to reference slot 3. Catalog record for Volume "LD0011L2" updated to reference slot 4. Catalog record for Volume "LD0012L2" updated to reference slot 6. Catalog record for Volume "LD0003L2" updated to reference slot 7. Catalog record for Volume "LD0015L2" updated to reference slot 8. Catalog record for Volume "LD0021L2" updated to reference slot 9. Catalog record for Volume "LD0027L2" updated to reference slot 10. Catalog record for Volume "LD0007L2" updated to reference slot 12. Catalog record for Volume "LD0026L2" updated to reference slot 13. Catalog record for Volume "LD0024L2" updated to reference slot 14. Catalog record for Volume "LD0005L2" updated to reference slot 15. Catalog record for Volume "CLNU00L2" updated to reference slot 16. As you can see, the one I am looking for is LD0012L2, which is in slot 6. The error is about the barcode labeler, which was suggested earlier, so I just commented that back out. The tape drive moves the tape into the slot: 26-Oct 10:09 fluffy-sd: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 6, drive 0", status is OK. 26-Oct 10:09 fluffy-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 26-Oct 10:09 fluffy-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result is Slot 6. 26-Oct 10:09 fluffy-sd: Please mount Volume "LD0012L2" on Storage Device "LTO-2" (/dev/nst0) for Job fluffy.2006-10-25_18.07.22 I get an email: 26-Oct 10:09 fluffy-sd: Please mount Volume "LD0012L2" on Storage Device "LTO-2" (/dev/nst0) for Job fluffy.2006-10-25_18.07.22 And I issue another mount command, now the right tape is in the slot, and the status says: 2971 Increme fluffy.2006-10-25_18.07.22 is waiting for a mount request And I get another email about mounting the tape. Is there a deeper level of debugging that I can figure out what the disconnect is here? I set the debug level to 100 on storage, but it doesn't return anything other than what it already says. -----Original Message----- From: bac...@li...

I'd also like more information on this, unless you are referring to the bug report open on this which is triggered by "Always Open=3Dno". And I agree with you that 1.39, is not yet ready for critical production. > >> >> Is there an upgrade from 38 to 39 doc?
