I'm trying to get this puppy to work with
3 tapes for now, i can control the robot
fine with the mtx program but amanda keeps
giving me :
bash-2.04$ /usr/local/sbin/amlabel bef Test01 slot 2
amlabel: could not load slot "2": could not determine current slot, are
you sure your drive slot is 2
I put the tape from slot 1 in the drive, it knows theres one
in slot 2 and 3 but it keeps complaining about the 'current' slot.
>From what i can tell the output of the mtx command is in a format
the regex's from the glue script should match.
changer.conf
------------------------------------
firstslot=1 # First slot
lastslot=3 # Last slot
cleanslot=-1 # Don't use a cleaning tape slot
driveslot=0 # This is the slot of the drive
havereader=0 # Do not use the barcode reader
autoclean=0 # Do not autoclean
offline_before_unload=0 # Does not require offline before
unload
havebarcode=0
