You know, personally I just set "OfflineOnUnmount = yes".

IIRC that option turned out to be more trouble than it was worth.
In particular, labelling a new tape didn't work anymore with this
option set, because the tape would be ejected in the middle of
the operation, followed by a complaint about the missing tape.
Has that changed?

I don't believe I have ever had that happen. I can verify as of just
last night that I can label a new tape on demand in the middle of a
backup on an LTO4 drive, from BAT, without any unexpected ejects, and
5.2.2 automatically mounted the tape after labelling.
