Neither the "mount" command nor an "update slots" were able to resolve
this problem. I ended up simply cancelling the job, swapping out tapes
I'd wanted to recycle for brand new tapes, and restarting the backups,
since they'd been hung for several days and (given my experience) it
seemed bacula was more willing to deal with Scratch tapes than to
recycle tapes properly.
Is there anything I can do to try to prevent this in the future? I'd
really like to be able to recycle older tapes, since I've got other
things I'd like to buy with the money I'm currently throwing at new tapes...
