Hi All,

I know I don't have full information here, but don't want to send along
my full config as I'll guess that's overkill.

22-May 06:17 tibor-sd JobId 4223: Please mount Volume "100027L2" or label a new 
one for:
    Job:          Belobog-Data2-Users.2009-05-22_05.15.00_35
    Storage:      "NEO-LTO-0" (/dev/nst0)
    Pool:         Radev-Diff
    Media type:   LTO-2
22-May 06:19 tibor-sd JobId 4209: Please mount Volume "000152L2" or label a new 
one for:
    Job:          BackupCatalog.2009-05-21_23.10.00_21
    Storage:      "NEO-LTO-1" (/dev/nst1)
    Pool:         Weekly-Tape-WH
    Media type:   LTO-2

I have a Overland Neo 4000 Tape Library with 57 slots and 3 tape drives.
My config is set to Automount tapes when needed.  But, sometimes it doesn't
and just sits there, waiting for me to manually load the requested tapes.
I had two instances of that this morning.  Both tapes were in the Library
and checking which tapes Bacula thought were loaded showed both of these
tapes as being "In Changer".  I was able to easily do:
  mount storage=Overland_Neo_4000 drive=0 slot=30
  mount storage=Overland_Neo_4000 drive=1 slot=1

Then my jobs continued running nicely.

What would be the reasons that occasionally Bacula won't automount tapes
which it knows are present?

Thanks for any assistance and I can provide whatever configs would help
solve this dilemma,
-John
