I found on the machine that I'm setting up, a VXA-1 drive with 10 disk
changer, that I have to use /dev/nst0 to do the writing to the tape,
/dev/sg2 to eject, and /dev/sg3 for the changer.  It was the freakiest
thing.  I had to modify the chg-zd-mtx script (hardcoding in the
/dev/sg2) to make it change tapes properly.

Am I the only person who has come across this?
