Before the chg-disk tape changer was written, I used the chg-multi
changer with the file-driver. It's a little more complicated
to configure, but the advantage is that it finds and load automatically
the vtapes.
To what extent (with regard to functionality) does this differ from
using chg-disk and setting amrecover_changer to the same value as
tapedev?
Just tried this out with the chg-disk changer instead of the chg-multi
and it works fine indeed.
Don't know why I thought it wouldn't.
One remark about amrecover_changer: because a changer does not have
a name in /dev (especially the chg-disk, or the chg-multi changer),
amanda introduced the "amrecover_changer" parameter to name your
changer. My changer is called: amrecover_changer "changer" .
Some people (distro's even) call it /dev/null, some the same as
an existing tapedevice. Personally I find that confusing.
