I am pretty much out of cycles these days.  Basically Bacula was designed to
differentiate where a volume could be mounted based on the MediaType. 
Users have
tended to use the same MediaType for all their Volumes. This leads to 
lots of
problems with Bacula being unable to load volumes.  I tried to come up with
a fix that involved using StorageIds, which works pretty well in most 
cases, but
it was not the best thing to do. Removing StorageIds largely fixes the 
problem, but
will break hundreds or thousands of installations.

We will try to find a solution, but it won't be tomorrow ...

Kern
