At the moment the drive usage reports are based on the begin/end writing entries in the bptm log. mount/position/unmount times are ignored completely.

I'd like to see the real physical usage of my tape drives. At the moment the report is useless for me, because it reports drives as free, but they are busy with mount/unmount operations.

The report should at least indicate when a tape was mounted at each drive, showing mount/position/unload in different colors would be even better.

This helps to optimize drive and media usage by eliminating unneccessary media changes and it supports the admin as an argument to buy new drives.
