To add to this, apparently this tape is just bad or needs to be erased. I marked it read only and mounted another tape into drive 0 and everything seems to be working. Is there any way for bacula to just say, "Hey this tape is crap, send me an email and load another tape"

However, Sometimes I receive these errors: You have messages. *messages 26-May 16:07 mlbkp1-sd JobId 3152: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 17, drive 0" command. 26-May 16:08 mlbkp1-sd JobId 3152: 3305 Autochanger "load slot 17, drive 0", status is OK. 26-May 16:08 mlbkp1-sd JobId 3152: Please mount Volume "000068L3" or label a new one for: Job: FS1_Data_Home_Dirs.2010-05-26_16.07.00_04 Storage: "neodrive-1" (/dev/st0) Pool: Mainlab-six-month-pool-incremental Media type: Ultrium-3 Clearly the tap changer has loaded the tape into drive 0 from slot 17, which I have verified actually does have volume 000068L3. So why does it say please mount volume or label a new one? Why does it keep saying this despite the fact the tape is loaded in the drive? Anyone know why. Typically, I just label a new tape, and that fixes the problem, but why the hell does it not just use the tape that it loaded into the drive in the first place instead of complaining about it.
