Um.  Never mind, I'm not actually certain what I changed fiddling with
the configuration.  I basically tried moving a couple of directives from
the tape Device resource to the Autochanger resource based on the
Autochanger Support documentation in the 9.0.x manual on bacula.org,
then moved them back when the Director complained (contrary to the
documentation) that they weren't permitted there.  I don't THINK I made
any changes I didn't revert.  But now it's all working again, including
BAT being able to browse everything again.  The odd thing is, no error
was reported.

Having to specify an autochanger device and slot every time I mount and
unmount a tape is, I suspect, going to get irritating, but I can live
with it.  However, the whole concept of having to configure a fictitious
autochanger because support for stand-alone tape drives no longer works
is troubling, to say the least.  Really, *REALLY* troubling.

(As  a quick workaround, is there any way to tell Bacula that this
fictitious autochanger has only one drive and only one slot, so that it
can just assume '0,0' without having to prompt?)


Next order of business, I suppose, is to bring down the MariaDB cluster
and bring one node back up as a stand-alone, non-Galera mysqld so that I
can test a full backup to tape.
