Dunno when I added the OfflineOnUmount, might have been during the update cause I fiddled with AlwaysOpen=yes, which bit me somewhere else. >If neither of the two suggestions below work, you might try using "Volume Poll >Interval = 5 minutes".

I *strongly* recommend running with "Always Open = yes". It saves >*lots* of wear and tear on your drives/tapes. Just a short question with that. We currently get the tapes ejected with the last job during the night. How would I do that with AlwaysOpen=yes? A simple 'unmount storage=LTO' on the console? If yes, do I need to execute a 'mount storage=LTO' after I changed tapes and run 'update slots storage=LTO' afterwards, which (if yes) would mean to me, that I'd have to load a tape 'by hand' running 'mtx load.
