Dear all

I have a few questions regarding the labeling of volumes in bacula release 3.0.3:

  • As we are using an IBM TS2900 autochanger, i had set label type to 'IBM'. However, the label barcodes command now fails because Bacula tries to assign labels that are 8 characters long, while the maximum is 6. Should we use IBM labels or not? If so, is manual labeling required (rather than using the 'label barcodes' command)?

  • When we use the default label format, 'label barcodes' seems to work. However, how do we add the labeled volumes to the (Default) pool afterwards? The pool has not been set automatically (as should be done according to the docs), and the 'add' command wants to give new labels to the already labeled volumes.

Thanks for any help

Thomas
