I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what is causing the below two
jobs to fail. Job 25915 is a virtual full backup, job 25919 is a normal
full backup. Both jobs are writing to a two drive autochanger. The
virtual full job is writing to drive 0 and reading from drive 1. The
normal full wants to write to drive 1, but since drive 1 is in use when
it starts it blocks waiting for the drive to become available. That is
as I would expect, but when the the virtual full unloads drive 1 to load
the next needed volume, the normal full job wakes up and decides to load
drive 1 with the volume it wants to use at the same time the virtual
full job is loading its next tape. This I do not expect, particularly
since the two drives both have MaximumConcurrentJobs = 1 in
bacula-sd.conf. Am I missing something, or is this a potential race
condition bug?
