Check if this can be documented correctly.
Also make sure the "file autochanger" chapter is updated to reflect the ability to implicitly creating the autochanger.

@pstorz while it will activate the multidevice in the SD, the number of concurrent jobs will still be limited to one due to defaults set in core/src/defaultconfigs/bareos-dir.d/storage/File.conf.in
Is this your intention, then users will just adapt the number of jobs to their needs and that will work because the 10 devices are defined.

Thanks for the good work.
Work well on any tested platform during first installation.
Don't break anything on upgrade (24 -> 25).
Can be easily integrated by admins if desired.
