I'm experiencing it right now, thanks to a tachometer failure in my
library.

There's nothing which can be done on the bacula side.

The best thing to do is shut down bacula and run a full recalibration
routine on the library so it relearns the exact offsets for each
slot/drive. How to do this is different for every library maker and it's
likely to take quite a while, depending how many slots you have.
