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?
