This also relates to the oddity (i.e. not a big deal or big bug) I've
observed whereby when I do an "update slots" in bconsole, it auto-selects
the changer properly but then asks which drive I want.
Like the vast majority of bacula users with an autochanger, I use barcodes,
so no drive is used to get that info back into bacula.
Just interjecting my opinion from afar here, but it seems this is an oddity
in bacula which could be changed.
