Hi,
I have configured Bacula for our Qualstar TLS-8466 autochanger and everything
seems be working fine except for the weird errors in slot numbering. The
problem I suspect is with the extra I/O slot which this model has, in addition
to normal slots in the mounted magazines. Mtx command correctly reports all
magazine slots plus the I/O slot (separately). However, Bacula director seems
to have issues with the I/O slot: when command is issued to mount slot 1, it
does mount the tape from first slot of the first magazine but somehow records
mounted slot number as (last magazine slot + 1), e.g. slot 45 when there are 4
x 11-slot magazines (total regular 44 slots) installed in the changer. Weirdly
enough, everything seems to work fine whether the this slot is referred to as
slot=1 or slot=45 in mount/umount commands. It looks like I/O slot address
overlaps with the first slot address. Not sure if this is a feature or a bug?
Should I leave first slot of the first magazine empty to avoid the confusion or
is there some other known workaround?
Thanks,
Ivan
