Probably not. Bacula only tries to create a volume if LabelMedia=yes is
defined for the pool. Vchanger is more like a tape autochanger in that
it has a certain number of slots each holding a volume. Once those
volumes are full, Bacula will not find any available volumes, so will
pause the job and ask for operator intervention.
On the other hand, if the partition has space for additional volumes,
then they can be added by changing the vchanger config and manually
creating the additional volume files. Or, add another whole magazine
partition and increase "magazine_bays" in the vchanger config to add
"slots_per_magazine" more slots/volumes to the autochanger. Either way,
the new volumes have to be labeled by running "label barcodes" in
bconsole. Once additional volumes are added and labeled, Bacula will
eventually resume the job and use one of the new volumes.
