At least my standard three job test runs well. All jobs are using the already loaded tapes. I also tried some combination of jobs (some with loaded tapes, some have to load tapes) and had no errors. Well done! As this is true for *backup* it doesn't work for reading tapes. Restore and verify jobs still use the first available drive and not the one where the tape is already mounted. > Note, the SD reservations system should now re-use volumes in the drive on > which they are mounted when the job starts.

The normal case will be concurrent running daily incremental jobs where the tape stays in the drive and will be reused the next day. So when starting this jobs they now reuse their tape _and_ drive. At least, this is true for me. If the job needs another tape it is most like because the tape is full or has errors so the job will need a "fresh" (purged) tape which most likely has not been used for a long time and therefor it is very unlikely that the tape is still loaded.
