+ This patch causes the SD to try at least once to mount a Volume
+ that is not in an Autochanger before asking the operator to
+ intervene. Without it, the user must issue a mount command for
+ every File based volume that is needed.
+
+ Apply to 2.4.1 with the following:
+
+ cd <bacula-source>
+ patch -p0 <2.4.1-mount.patch
+ ./configure <your-options>
+ make
+ ...
+ make install
