Re: [Bacula-users] Quantum Superloader 3

The loader is set to Random. It looks more like to me an issue with mtx and the mtx-changer script. Like i said, it will write for client1-job1, then it goes to client2-job1 it will move the tape to slot 1 then it won't bring it back. I want the tape to continue to fill until it's full. If it's not full and I remove it, then it goes to the next tape.

I have had luck with a Quantum Superloader 3 in the past. Can you let
me know what mode the loader is set to (it should be set to Random).

Thanks -Jason
