 From what I just read about AlwaysOpen=No , I interpret that to mean 
that after a job completes, bacula frees the drive to be used by another 
process.  But does not eject the tape.  Each new bacula job will cause a 
rewind of the tape.  But the text is ambiguous to me.  In some places it 
says 'freed' in others it says 'released'.  If it really is released 
then, it should be ejected.

I definitely do not want it to rewind between each job though, and I 
need the tape that is in the drive at the end of the run, to be put back 
in the changer.  Right now, except for errors, I have to do nothing 
manually to bacula.  I get an email telling me what tapes were used last 
night, and I remove them from the changer, and put new tapes in.  The 
admin jobs take care of the rest.

How do you interpret its definition?
