This should work 100% of the time. It has for me for the 80 tapes I
have had it label. When I add new tapes, I wait 5 minutes for my 24
slot changer to stop doing inventory then after that I issue update
slots since I changed tapes. After that I run label barcodes and put
all new tapes in the Scratch pool.

I am not sure of that. Some users have done this but I do not know the details.

The I/O read error on unused tapes is not an error. This is actually
normal behavior. As for crashing bacula-sd, I have never had that
happen on a label barcodes.
