[Bacula-users] Diagnosing storage anomalies and Director bug

I have a Bacula-5.0.2 setup with my Director and a disk SD on a Solaris
10 x86 box, and a tape SD with a single standalone LTO2 drive on a
Gentoo Linux machine.  I've been trying without much success to debug a
problem in which, *after* running a job or series of jobs on the tape
SD, all subsequent jobs on the *disk* SD stall indefinitely "waiting on
max Storage jobs".  I've figured out that for some reason the Director
is holding the *disk* SD jobs waiting on the *tape* SD, which never
becomes available because it not only has no volume mounted, but has no
jobs running on it nor waiting to use it.  This condition can be cleared
only by restarting all Bacula servers.

One of the things I have observed in my efforts to diagnose this is
that, although I do not have an autochanger, several of my tape volumes
(generally the three volumes used by the last Fulkl backup) show up in
BAT's Pools view with apparently-random changer slot numbers.  Is this
meaningless, or is it possible that Bacula is somehow confused into
thinking that my single tape drive is an autoloader and this is part of
the problem?
