The script that is executed is this ('scuse the line wrapping):

I think I put the 'mount' command in so that Bacula knows that the tape
drive is ready for use again. Otherwise it remained unmounted and bacula
wouldn't touch it.
Interesting idea. I always assumed the "mount" command only made sense
after loading the next tape, because if I issued it with the drive still
empty it would complain thusly:
3901 open device failed: ERR=dev.c:433 Unable to open device "LTO1"
(/dev/nst0): ERR=No medium found
Time for a little experiment, I guess.
Worked great. After the "mount" command on the empty drive, Bacula did
detect and write to a tape I inserted later without issuing another
"mount" command.
This recipe would make a great addition to the Wiki IMO.
Thanks,
Tilman
