[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] tape: increase timeout for moving medium in changer

[Dominik Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>]

from the current 5 minutes to 30 minutes. According to documentation
from vendors (e.g. HP see [0]) moving a medium between slots or to/from
a drive can take up a much longer time than 5 minutes. (up to 38 minutes
in a HP library) so increase the timeout we use here to something that
exceeds these recommendations.
