It has been delivered today, after some fussing-around with a defect
power-supply it is running.

I followed the instructions in the chg-zd-mtx-script and set up the
conf-file accordingly.

Unfortunately, when it comes to testing the setup, and I try:

/usr/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -info

I get

<none> no slots available

(And a simple "2" after "echo $?" ...)

My conf for the changer:

---

firstslot=1
lastslot=8
driveslot=0
cleanslot=-1
autoclean=0
havereader=0
offline_before_unload=0

---

This is a host running Gentoo-Linux, up to date.

I compiled the kernel with LUN-support, and support for
SCSI-media-changer (/dev/sch? , /dev/ch? ) as well as for generic
SCSI-devices (/dev/sg?).

Currently I access the library via /dev/nst1 (another tapedrive attached
as st0) and /dev/sg2 (the changer). Things work ok when I execute
commands manually, but the chg-zd-mtx-script doesn't work as expected.

Thanks, greets, Stefan
