Thanks for this.  I do vaguely remember finding this option on the library some 
time back (it isn't a "new" library, it's just become available for my Bacula 
environment).  Unfortunately I'm not onsite at the moment...

I am having some success with the "update slots scan" limited to specific 
slots, after comparing media IDs and slots between Bacula and mtx.  Not pretty 
but it's a fairly small number of volumes and hopefully we won't be moving 
libraries again for a while.

regards, Phil

Hi!

Changing the label inside the db looks good, but if you try to restore  
something you will get error messages because the label on tape won't  
match when bacula tries to identify the loaded tape.
I figured that our loader has a somewhat hidden option to configure  
how the label will be reported (in my case it was the trailing "L2"  
which i was missing).

Try to contact the manufacturer of your loader and see if you can  
tweak the output.


Kind regards
