I think you can run the same commands on mtx that chg-scsi takes.

WARNING: I have not looked to see if all commands are supported by MTX and I
have not looked at
which ones may be destructive to tape contents. Do your research there
before you start unless
you are using a blank tape you can relabel.

>From the directory where your amanda.conf and chg-mtx.conf file are run
the chg-mtx command directly. The valid commands for chg-scsi are:

chg-mtx -slot [#]
chg-mtx -info
chg-mtx -reset
chg-mtx -eject
chg-mtx -clean
chg-mtx -label [param]
chg-mtx -search [param]
chg-mtx -status [param]
chg-mtx -trace [param]
chg-mtx -inventory
chg-mtx -dumpdb
chg-mtx -scan
chg-mtx -genconf

Thanks for the reply :}

Ok, I added this to my 'amanda.conf':
changerfile "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-mtx"

> Its identity is specified with the changerfile

By identity do you mean the devicefile, /dev/sgx?

Either way, when I run amlabel now, I get something
like
"Changer reported Usage:"
Now 'Usage:' is the first thing mtx writes when you
mess up a command. So something isn't passing right.
Is there a way for me to see what mtx is being handed?
The fact I don't know script doesn't help this :{
Thanks list, I appreciate any assistance..,!
