Hello,
I noticed that Bacula seems to be writing to tapes in a way that I don't
understand. If there are two tapes in an autochanger and they are in the
same pool, bacula writes to them both. I would expect it to fill a tape and
then start on the next one.

For example, we have:

Pool: Tape
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes        | VolFiles |
VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten
|
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
|      16 | EPW680L3   | Full      |       1 | 682,622,760,960 |      198
|   31,536,000 |       0 |    0 |         0 | LTO-3     | 2014-11-15
11:45:33 |
|      17 | EPW681L3   | Append    |       1 |  75,587,355,648 |       22
|   31,536,000 |       0 |    7 |         1 | LTO-3     | 2014-11-18
09:40:27 |
|      23 | EPW682L3   | Append    |       1 | 194,428,523,520 |       56
|   31,536,000 |       0 |    6 |         1 | LTO-3     | 2014-11-23
00:03:19 |
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+

If the tape could hold up to 680 G or so, why has it written 75G to one
Appendable tape, and 194G to the other?

Thanks.
