Hi, Gene,

I just checked back with my communications with the author of
chg-disk, he said:
---
changerdev: it's not necessary to explicitely tell "/dev/null" as this config
parameter is not parsed by my changer driver; but I wanted to explicitely
specify it just
to help the human reader, to remind him there is really NO physical robotics.

So it is unimportant for chg-disk what "changerdev" is set to. Maybe
this should be mentioned in the HOWTO.

Maybe you could edit this script to use variables ... so other people
could use it as well ...

Some more thing to look up in the sources ...

chg-disk takes care of this. Nothing to do for you.

I am not sure, do you think I wrote chg-disk? I did not, it was JC
Simonetti ...
