Item 1: Slots are (usually) umbered starting with 1, so for a manual lael command, you'd do something like 'label slot=1 drive=0 sd=SRV1-sd pool=Default' in bconsole. Item 2: Your autochanger doesn't seem to work with Bacula (yet). That's usually a configuration issue... have you checked with btape's autochanger test, run mtx-changer with appropriate input from the shell, and checked what mtx does? Either your SD configuration or the mtx-changer (configuration) might need fixing - most autochangers do work well with Bacula and the "normal" framework to control them (i.e., mtx, mtx-changer, and the regular operating system device names). What I see often are changing device names, which can be fixed y applying some udev rules and using symlinks created by udev according to your rules.
