Dear Bacula Users,
    I have been using Bacula for about 4 years now. I recently moved
from a single drive LTO-3 Exabyte Autochanger to a 2 drive LTO-5
TL-2000 Autochanger. All the devices are recognized properly and I can
read/write from both jobs. The issue I'm having is that Bacula almost
never uses the 2nd drive. It does occasionally, but I can't figure out
a rhyme or reason for it.
     I've tried setting "Prefer Mounted Volumes = No" in a JobDefs
resource for Tape jobs, but still no luck. It does work, just randomly
and not in a way that seem configurable, predictable, or useful.
Can anyone help?
Yours,
Shon
