Perhaps because all I know about what Bacula actually does is what I
read in the manual. (Don't get me wrong, it's no worse than the manuals
I write for my code -- that's why I'm on this ML & keep asking you.)

Please spell this out in simple words: I have 2 Devices in the
Autochanger, each Device can hold 5 Volume files. Bacula writes 5
Volumes on Device-1, Device 1 is now full. What you're saying is bacula
will *not* write Volume-6 to Device-2, is that correct? (That's
certainly what's happening here.)

What is the point of the virtual autochanger then? What is the intended
usage scenario?
