Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger problem

Hi ,
This "unknown storage element" happens when you load a tape from the 
IMPORT/EXPORT to the drive without first moving it to an inside slot.
That way the robot doesn't know where the tape came from (I/E slots cannot be 
used by the robot, only for Import/export).
It seems some tapes overcome this by assigning to the tape, a slot number of a 
random empty non-I/E slot, but only if there is an empty non-I/E slot at the 
time of the tape load.
So don't overfill the robot :-)
