This would be somewhat handy as a per-job config option. For disk-based
storage, a mount request isn't generally helpful, as it's usually
arising due to an exhausted pool or a disk-full situation. While the
admin can rectify the situation and then manually mount a manually
labelled volume, it's often better to just let it run again on the next
scheduled slot anyway.
Arguably more useful, though, would be to tell the operator *why* bacula
couldn't select a suitable volume ("No recyclable volumes in pool",
"Labeling a new volume failed: disk full", etc) rather than just
requesting a mount without any information about why it's being asked for.
