As long as it says 7 slots here (e.g. that is what the changer reports
on the SCSI level) Bacula is not going to see any more.

Its something set in the changer.

Check the tandberg web interface (guess the small 1u also has one)
my 24 slots has one at least.

Go to the Configure/Cleaning menu and make sure Fixed Cleaning Slot Enabled:
is disabled and auto clean on is grayed out.

You can also look at the front menu and do

Maint
Cleaning Options
Fixed Cleaning Slot

Should show something like Fixed Cleaning Slot x: Disabled.
