I am setting a up a new Bacula 7.4 system and have run into an issue 
that I do not understand.

I have a 10 slot autochanger that I have been using since the 5.0.x days 
through to 7.0.x.  I cannot remember when I last did a clean install 
though.  Everything has been upgraded over time, so I am not sure when 
this became an issue.  It could have been an issue all along and I have 
just forgotten.

In the 10 slot auto changer I have 4 daily volumes (from the 
P-Tape-Daily pool), 4 weekly volumes (from the P-Tape-Weekly pool) and 2 
monthly volumes (from the P-Tape-Monthly pool).

On the existing 7.0.5 system the volumes are configured in the catalogue 
as being in the autochanger slots as follows:
P-Daily-Tape-001 1
P-Daily-Tape-002 2
P-Daily-Tape-002 3
P-Daily-Tape-002 4
P-Weekly-Tape-001 5
P-Weekly-Tape-002 6
P-Weekly-Tape-003 7
P-Weekly-Tape-004 8
P-Monthly-Tape-001 9
P-Monthly-Tape-001 10

Each Pool has Maximum Volumes set as follows:
P-Tape-Daily 4
P-Tape-Weekly 4
P-Tape-Monthly 2

The same configuration is intended for the new 7.4 system.

To that end, on the new system I have labelled all the tapes and am now 
trying to set the autochanger slot for each volume with the update 
command in bconsole.  The Daily-Pool volumes all updated successfully, 
but when I go to do the P-Tape-Weekly volumes I get

*update volume=P-Tape-Weekly-001 slot=5
Invalid slot, it must be between 0 and Maximum Volumes=4

I do not understand what the Pool Maximum Volume setting has to do with 
the autochanger slot number. I have confirmed that it is the 
P-Tape-Weekly Pool Maximum Volumes causing the issue by increasing it to 
8.  I can now change the slots for the P-Tape-Weekly volumes to 5-8 as 
required.  Once the slots have been changed I can change the Maximum 
Volumes back to 4 and everything works as it should.  At least I think 
it does.  Still doing some testing.

Same thing for P-Tape-Monthly except Maximum Volumes needs to be 10.

Is this a bug or have I been something wrong all this time?

Regards

Mike
