Bacula 2.4.2 has been running generally well for me over a year now. I've upgraded to 2.4.2 from 2 previous versions.
Lately I have been having multiple issues with Bacula losing track of tapes in the autochanger, not being able to load tapes
that are in the changer, and just generally not working as advertised.
I haven't made any changes, so I kind of need to know whats going on?
Currently I have this issue:
18-Nov 06:33 mt-back4.storage JobId 16098: Please mount Volume "A00046" or label a new one for:
Job: Oracle_Weekly_Tape.2008-11-16_22.00.49
Storage: "Ultrium-TD3" (/dev/rmt/0cbn)
Pool: Advisen_Tapes
Media type: LTO-3
Seems pretty normal. The director wants us to mount a new Volume. But wait....

A00046 is in the changer. Its status is Recycle. When I check the Storage status I see
Device status:
Autochanger "Magnum_224" with devices:
"Ultrium-TD3" (/dev/rmt/0cbn)
Device "Ultrium-TD3" (/dev/rmt/0cbn) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "A00046",

Slot 10 is loaded in drive 0.

If I use MTX I can see that A00046 is actually loaded in the drive....

This and similar issues have been plaguing me recently. I have NO clue what might be happening. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
