I've taken over a configuration of Bareos on Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie). Its a fresh install, using both file and Autochanger storage.
Everything looks correct and bconsole
will talk with the changer (I can move, mount, unmout, label tapes etc.).
Problem: The backups will write to the autochanger's drive - but ONLY if the tape is manually mounted. If the drive is empty, the backup job will not pull a tape into the drive. It just stays queued indefinitely. If I move the tape to the dirve (even after the job is started) it runs fine.
The tapes are barcoded and labeled.
See pertinent config below:
