I am trying a full backup/multi-job to a single client and all was going well 
until this morning when I received the error below.   All other jobs were also 
canceled.  

My question is two fold:

1) What the heck is this error?   I can unmount the drive, issue a rawfill to 
the tape w/ btape and no problems?   

2) since everything is spooled first, there should be NO error that should 
cancel a job.   A tape drive could fail, a tape could burst into flame,  all 
that would be needed was bacula to know that there was an issue and give the 
admin a simple statement do you want to fix the issue or cancel?, the admin to 
fix the problem, and then bacula told to restart from the last block that was 
stored successfully OR if need be from the beginning of the spooled data file.

Canceling jobs that run for days for TB's of data is just screwed up.
