Yeah, this is very funny, I was running a restore job from one
two-drives autochanger, and it had one tape loaded on each drive, and
it started reading from one of the tapes, and it needed info from the
other tape, and instead of reading the tape on the drive it was
already loaded, it unloaded the tape, and loaded on the other
*identical* drive to read it.... I suppose that someday bacula will
actually make smart decisions when it have more than one drive
attached to the same autochanger, but I suppose the day hasn't arrived
yet :( .

c-ya!
