Craig, this DEFINITELY does not happen with my config.
I enabled tracing to see if the server was issuing an umount, it was,
but the tape remained mounted afterwards.

This is the sequence of events :-
        Start ADSM ( no tapes in drives)
        Audit library -checkl=barcode (just incase)
        do a client backup of a small file to mount the tape(s)
        q mount (B0001 in drv_1)
        halt the server (tape still loaded)
        Start ADSM (with tracing)
        Reported 'Restoring state for library ....'
        halt the server and check the library with lbtest (still loaded)

No errors are logged in the activity log.
Here is the trace file output.

Please note that this library does not allow the robot to eject the
tapes.
The manual procedure would be :-
        tctl -f /dev/mt0 offline
        tctl -f /dev/mt1 offline
        lbtest -d /dev/lb0
                open
                return element count
                return library inventory all
                move drive to slot
                move drive to slot
                close

I am waiting for the latest level of microcode for the drive, any other
suggestions ?
Regards
Gary
