"status storage" doesn't tell me what I want...

"
*status stor
Automatically selected Storage: ExternalDisk
<snip>
Device status:
Device "ExternalDisk" (/vol/backup/bacula) is not open.
====
"

/vol/backup is an autofs mount which only mounts if you try and access
it, and unmounts a few seconds later.

I'm sure that in the past, bacula has attempted to access the device and
would tell me what volume was there. For some reason it doesn't now.

Also, I'm less sure but I think that bacula would tell me what volume
was in the drive when I tried a "mount" command, but all it does is
this:

"
*mount
<snip>
3906 File device "ExternalDisk" (/vol/backup/bacula) is always mounted.
"

Thanks

James
