Hi!
I´d like to contribute with the "Cleaning Prefix = "CLN" pool directive. This way bacula knows who is your cleaning tape, when using "label barcodes":
"Any barcode that begins with the same characters as specified on the "CleaningPrefix=xxx" command, will be treated as a cleaning tape, and will not be labeled. "
"The Cleaning Prefix statement can be used in the Pool resource to define a Volume name prefix, which if it matches that of the Volume (barcode) will cause that Volume to be marked with a VolStatus of Cleaning. This will prevent Bacula from attempting to write on the Volume."
And you don´t need to do the "mt rewind/weof" for new tapes, but I use to do so, you can have a script to do it for you, using as many tapes as slots you have.
Regards, Ana

Not sure if that's a good idea. AFAIK IBM labels are limited to six
characters, and your barcode labels are eight characters long, so
they won't fit. Any reason why you don't want to use standard Bacula
labels?

Not necessarily. Step 1 is only necessary for erasing an existing
label from the tape, so if it was never written to you can skip
that step and proceed directly to "label barcodes".
OTOH, if the tape was written previously then step 1 will erase
it, so if you want to keep its current content you should do
neither step 1 nor step 2, but add it with "add volume" or
"bscan" instead.
