I'm using Mark Holm's chg-qs-mtx script to start my Backup with Amanda.
All works fine, but have problems to use the barcode reader. Is there a
way to use the barcode reader for faster library operations ?


archiver:/# mtx status  
Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 43 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 27 Loaded):VolumeTag =
A00026
      Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A00000
      Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A00001
      Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A00002
      Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A00003
      Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A00004
                .                     .
                .                     . 
                .                     .

The VolumeTag is the barcode readers information. Is there a use for
this information with Amanada or mtx to load the right tape Amanada want
to use next ?

Thanks in advance

Daniel
