If you have a large setup like ours, it changes regularly.

Simply enabling/disabling individual drives within an autochanger 
requires a SD restart - which means we need to shut down ALL backups in 
progress - not a trivial undertaking when you're backing up a couple of 
PB of data every month.


(Why would you want to disable a drive? If it's offline because it 
failed its cleaning cycle, as a f'instance)
