Hi all,

I'm using 5.0 on centos 6 with 10 hot-swap sata drives in vchanger. It's
been running fine for quite some time, here's what I got this morning:

The "volumes" got written to vchanger_0007_0011 timestamped 11:13 pm
last night.

Then @ 02-Sep 23:13 the log goes

and so on until I got to work and killed bacula-dir. Somewhere in the
middle it sent out the "intervention needed" e-mail asking me to "label
a new one" -- there are labeled volumes in magazines from vchanger_0001
to vchanger_0010, with 47 volumes per magazine. I.e. volumes from
vchanger_0007_0012 to vchanger_0010_0047 are all labeled, empty,
on-line, and with "append" status.

So aside from the bug, why does director want vchanger_0008_0011 instead
of vchanger_0007_0012? If there's no guarantee all of the job will go to
volumes in the same magazine, then vchanger is not quite so useful.

Looking at the media, I now have full volumes down to vchanger_0007_0011
(incl), then empty ones to vchanger_0008_0011, that one's 70% full, then
empty ones to vchanger_0009_0011 @ 20% full (touched last night), then
empty ones to vchanger_0010_0011 @ 50% full (also touched last night),
then empties to vchanger_001_0047, full, written in May 2013, and
finally empties to vchanger_0011_0011 @ 25% full, last written last night.

Anybody knows wtf is going on?

Are any of the drives 100% full and out of space?
