I have the same library here, and I've often added and removed tapes without shutting down the sd - you just have to make sure that no jobs are running, and bacula has unmounted the volumes. Also note that the library sometimes takes a little while to wake back up after it's been offline, so you may have to repeat update slots once or twice before it will admit that it's there. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
