Here's another issue I'd like to know more about, and perhaps a request.

We have an LTO3 drive and an LTO4 drive, in the same tape library. 
Bacula's "Media Type" directive seems to be merely a string which gets 
matched, rather than include any understanding of tape formats. For 
example, LTO3 tapes can be read in the LTO4 drive, but Bacula will 
refuse because they're 'different'. I know I can hack it by calling them 
all "LTO" but then we can get the issue that Bacula might put an LTO4 
tape in the LTO3 drive - yuck.

So, is there any potential support for stronger media awareness? I 
haven't found anything in my searches.

Cheers,
Greg.
