Thanks, Kern. I can confirm that the example config given in the
src/dird/bacula-dir.conf.in file works as expected. I'll have a look at
the documentation and attempt to test any new features, ie. features
that differ from the Storage resource.
I concur with the difficulty of using a small laptop compared to a
development system. I'm not sure whether it is the old eyes, the old
habits, or both. :)
Kind Regards,
Josh

Hello Josh,
It turns out that I did not forget to update the newfeatures section
at least not for 9.0. That said, it appears that long ago, I
backported some Bacula Enterprise Autochanger features that I added to
improve operations with multiple autochangers. The documentation for
this was in a very old Bacula Enterprise release and apparently I
forgot to include it when this feature was backported. I have now
added that documentation to the New Features of the 9.0 manual, and I
hope it is correct and accurate. Since I am away from home doing more
detailed checks and such is much more difficult since I am working
from a small laptop rather than my development machine. Consequently
if something is askew please forgive me and drop me a note and I will
attempt to fix it.
This small change is now uploaded to the online manual (pdf and http)
at bacula.org.
Best regards,
Kern

Hello Josh,
Yes, I suspect that I forgot to update the what's new section to
include the new Autochanger resource. For the most part it is
identical to the Storage resource, but it has some additional
features. I will try to update the documentation this weekend and
announce it on this list. I will be away from all computers next
week (except a mobile telephone).
Best regards,
Kern

Hi,
In install on 9.0.8 I noticed that the bacula-dir.conf generated
contains a "Autochanger" resource. The src/dird/bacula-dir.conf.in
file contains an Autochanger resource beginning at line 200. The
documentation does not mention a resource type Autochanger for
bacula-dir configuration. Nevertheless, it is not seen as a syntax
error by bacula-dir and it appears to work as if it were a Storage
resource. I can change the type from Autochanger to Storage and
change the line Autochanger=File1 to Autochanger=yes and it appears
to work exactly the same way.
Is Autochanger an undocumented resource type in bacula-dir? Does
anyone know if it behaves differently than a Storage resource?
Cheers,
Josh Fisher
