Good morning.

I'm just wondering if "Automatic Mount = yes" is still working as expected?

My SD conf, upgraded from the old 1.36 to match the new autochanger:
 Autochanger {
        Name            = TapeChanger
        Device          = TapeStorage
        Changer Device  = /dev/changer ## symlink to /dev/sgX
        Changer Command = "/u01/gis/bin/mtx-changer %c %o %s %a %d"
}

Device {
        Name            = TapeStorage
        Drive Index     = 0
        AutoChanger     = yes
        Media Type      = LTO
        Archive Device  = /dev/tape    ## symlink to /dev/nst0
        LabelMedia      = yes
        RandomAccess    = no
        AutomaticMount  = yes
        RemovableMedia  = yes
        AlwaysOpen      = no
        Spool Directory = /u01/tmp/spool
        Maximum Spool Size      = 20G
        Maximum Open Wait       = 30 seconds
        Offline On Unmount      = yes
}

As you can see I've set AlwaysOpen=no, AutomaticMount=yes.
The docs now tell me, that with AutomaticMount=yes Bacula will check for 
tapes/media before every job.

Now when I look at the status of the storage:
Device "TapeStorage" (/dev/tape) open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
    Device is BLOCKED waiting for media.
    Slot 4 is loaded in drive 0.
[...]
In Use Volume status:
D09251U on device "TapeStorage" (/dev/tape)


Is there anything I'm missing? Did I miss some property to upgrade?
I know that with "mount storage=LTO" everything would work fine but I'm not at 
work at night to issue the command.
Usually we insert the tapes for the night during the day, at 7pm an "update 
slots storage=LTO" is issued via cron and the first jobs start running at 8pm.
Currently this setup isn't working cause of the above issue.

Any hints?

Thanks and greetings,
 Michael
