We have something very similar.
16 tapes, which get used every 2 weeks.
They are named "D01170", "D02180", "D0319", ... guess you get it.

We use a "Maximum Use Duration" setting of 23 hours, not a Max Vol Jobs.
but that doesnt seem to be your problem.

The only problem I can see is your LTO-changer device.
The tape itself is ready to be used, its just not "there" to be used.
Did you configure your SD to use an "autochanger"?
Our example from the -sd.conf
Device {
Name = TapeStorage
Media Type = LTO
Archive Device = /dev/tape
AutoChanger = yes
Changer Device = /dev/changer
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
LabelMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
AlwaysOpen = no
Maximum Open Wait = 10 seconds
Spool Directory = /u02/tmp/spool
Maximum Spool Size = 40G
}
Dont forget to run "update slots" in bconsole after you changed the tapes in
the changer. We have two things for that.
1.) a cronjob 30 minutes before the first backup-job that runs "mtx inventory"
2.) all our tapes have barcodes; whenever our mtx-changer script finds a filled
slot without a read barcode in the "mtx status" output it executes an "mtx
inventory"
Hope that helps.
Greetings, Michael
