Drive polled every 10 seconds

In a singledrive configuration the tape drive is polled every 10 seconds while waiting for a requested tape. If a tape is in the drive this will repeatedly load/unload the tape, unnecessarily wearing out the physical mechanism.

Reported in Issue #179.

Impact

  • ❌ Source 3_5
  • ❌ Ubuntu-20.04 amanda v3.5.1
  • ❌ Ubuntu-22.04 amanda v3.5.1

Test

Use the singledrive setup. The polling happens during dump/flush to tape as well as recover from tape.

Resolution

Fix proposed in PR #180.
