I've been using a 124T with Bacula for a little more than a year now.

I noticed that right after the powering on and every time a tape has
been accessed the library has a certain tendency to reply with garbage
to the first changer command it gets; I don't know if it's my particular
unit/setup or if other 124Ts do that.

I never got down to debugging the issue; adding a

${MTX} -f ${ctl} status >/dev/null 2>&1

before every mtx invocation in the mtx-changer script got it working
with Bacula.

HTH,
Andrea
