Hello,

I have a simple setup with bacula and one AIT drive. The backup strategy 
is quite simple as well: one pool with 4 daily tapes and one pool with 5 
weekly tapes (for Fridays). The backup is run at 23:30.

To make it as simple as possible for the persons responsible of changing 
the tapes I told them to push the eject button of the drive, remove the 
'old' tape and then insert the 'new' tape. Note: these people never use 
a console to issue mount or unmount commands.

My setting for the device in the storage daemon configuration file are 
as follows:

Device {
   Name = SONY-SDX-470V
   Archive Device = /dev/nst0
   Media Type = AIT-1-TURBO
   Always Open = yes
   Volume Poll Interval = 2 minutes
   Removable Media = yes
   Random Access = no
   Requires Mount = no
   Offline On Unmount = yes
   Automatic Mount = yes
}

Now bacula gets confused about the status of the tape drive and 
therefore quite often fails to run backups. If I manually issue the 
unmount command from the console, then replace the tape and issue a 
mount command, bacule works as expected.

What do I have to change so bacula will recognize the tape unmount by 
the eject button?

many thanks, Felix
