I recently started using the Virtual Autochanger as described in 'Best 
Practices for Disk Based Backup' [1]

It is working for me, but I encountered a problem with the audo-label process.

My bacula-sd.conf and the full transcript of the logging problem is at:

  https://gist.github.com/dlangille/ef858722b30ae182b40f

Ideas?

A job stalled with:

24-Aug 01:43 crey-sd JobId 215534: Job dent.2015-08-24_00.58.35_01 is waiting. 
Cannot find any appendable volumes.

I amended the pool definition to allow more Volumes, then went back to 
bconsole, expecting a mount command to create & label a new volume.


*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
     1: CreyFile
     2: CompaqStorageWorksTapeLibrary
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Connecting to Storage daemon CreyFile at crey.int.unixathome.org:9103 ...
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 
Enter autochanger slot: 
3999 Device "VirtualDisk" not found or could not be opened.
*

Then I tried label:


*label
The defined Storage resources are:
     1: CreyFile
     2: CompaqStorageWorksTapeLibrary
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 2
Enter new Volume name: .
You have messages.
*m
24-Aug 01:45 bacula-dir JobId 215534: Created new Volume="DiffAuto-4861", 
Pool="DiffFile", MediaType="File" in catalog.

Eventually, I again tried mount:


mount

     1: CreyFile
     2: CompaqStorageWorksTapeLibrary
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Enter autochanger drive[0]:
