Greetings,

I've got a PowerVault 136T autochanger.  I was running well with two 
drives up until recently but I've now added a 3rd drive and seem to be 
having 1 problem more often now.  The problem I'm seeing is that it'll 
load 3 tapes but then sometimes pick a drive it wants to run a specific 
backup on but it'll want a tape that's loaded into a different drive, 
then just sit there waiting for a mount request.  I've noticed other 
times when it does the unmount/mount properly (although ideally it 
shouldn't switch drives at all I'd think if a tape it wants is mounted 
already in any drive and that drive isn't busy).  I went from seeing 
this every month or so to now seeing this twice in the last week.

Here's more info on the settings I'm using...
all 3 drives in one pool
prefer mounted volumes=no
Maximum Concurrent Jobs=12
spool data=yes

Is there anybody else who's started gathering/reporting debug logs on this?
