Again the limit is only 1 volume can be loaded in 1 storage device at
a time.  This is not that big of a limitation because with disk you
can have 10000 storage devices if you want. Also with a vchanger the
handling of this is automatic. Send jobs to 1 vchanger device.

I admit there is also a difficulty in loading a single pool in earlier
versions of bacula in multiple devices. Bacula 5.0 makes this simpler
by allowing the same pool to be loaded in different storage devices
without difficulty.
