That free command probably works, as the dvdhandler is totally cabable
to READ, but not WRITE to the media. I restored data from my Lenny
backup into new Squeeze without problems. But any try to write to the
media failed, including a try to blank a dvd using growisofs.

I'm amazed to see that you have Squeeze with Bacula 5.. and it works!

Maybe I have to go back and re-evaluate Bacula with latest version. It
was 1 or 2 years ago that I checked and could not make any version but
2.0.* to work. I don't remember the problems then, as the bug reports
were put out and forgotten. Bacula just messed up with its database,
volumes and all. When I went to 2.0.2 everything worked fine.
