If you search the list archive, you'll see that I documented similar
behavior a few weeks ago. I submitted a bug report that apparently
may have been fixed, though a patch has not yet been issued.

I have a similar problem to Chris'. I have an autochanger with 2

Director resource in bacula-dir.conf has Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20.
When I run two jobs concurrently, the status of the second job is
"waiting for an appendable Volume", and the status of the second
drive becomes "Device is BLOCKED waiting for media." I tried to
mount another tape into the second drive from bconsole, but nothing
happened.
When the first job finished, the autochanger took the tape from
drive1, inserted it into drive2, and proceeded to run the second job.
I only have one Pool set up. Do I need to create another one and
make one job run from Pool1 and the other job run from Pool2?
Please let me know if you'd like to see some conf file snippets.
Thanks,
Ray

Subject: [Bacula-users] multiple tape drives at once not working
properly
Hi,
I have a tape library with four drives in it, and would like to use
all four drives at once, rather than just one of the drives. I’ve
read through archives on this email list, as well as the bacula
documentation, and followed the recommendations on how to do this,
but it doesn’t seem to be working. When I check the director’s
status, one job is running while the other jobs say they’re
“waiting on max Storage jobs.” Only one drive is being used in the
tape library.
In my bacula-dir.conf, I set “Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4” in the
Director resource, and “Prefer Mounted Volumes = no” for the
JobDefs resource. In my bacula-sd.conf, I set “Maximum Concurrent
Jobs = 20” for the Storage resource.
Any thoughts on what’s not configured properly?
-Chris
