Hi,

My amanda configuration is working nicely, but i have a problem w/ the
barcode scanning stuff.  MTX reports all the :VolumeTag=blahblah stuff
indicating that my barcode scanner should be working.  the
tape-changer i'm using is chg-zd-mtx.  i a line in my
/etc/amana/DailySet1/amanda.conf that says
"changerfile=/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer".  the changer.conf in that
directory is like this:

havereader 1
firstslot 1
lastslot 17
cleanslot -1
offline_before_unload 0

but when i run the "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -info'" it reports "4 30 1 "

These values are good (the 30 is what i want, but i changed it to 17
for testing purposes), but they are clearly not what is in my
changer.conf.  I'm not sure if it's guessing the information on it's
own or pulling it from some other file... i read through some of the
/tmp/amanda/chg-zd-mtx stuff, but unfortunately they do not tell me
what config file it's reading from.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
