Hello amanda lovers,
                I am having a tricky/weird situation.
                I installed Amanda and mtx with a un L9 (sunstoredge), after
the usual configuration I get a strange behavior, if I use mtx status, I
get:

bash-2.05# mtx status
  Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 9 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 5 Loaded):VolumeTag =
      Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 5:Empty:VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 7:Empty:VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 8:Empty:VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 9:Empty:VolumeTag=

But if I use chg-zd-mtx, I get:

bash-2.05# /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -info
5 6 1

So, I have 9 slots, 1 drive and the active tape is in slot 5. Can anybody
tell me why this is not what chg-zd-mtx said?

Thanks.-

Kind Regards.
