Oh, a very good information ...

Sure, I have a valid tapelist for the former config with the tapedrive
only, but not for the changer.

Is this information somewhere in the docs/manpages/howtos?
If not I should add that somewhere.

Additional question:

How to assign tapes to slots when I have two or more cartridges?

Right now I have space for 8 tapes in one cartridge, but ~20 tapes in
the rotation. Do I have to assign tapes->slots everytime I change the
cartridge, with other tapes loaded?

Still a changer-newbie ;)

Yup.

Right now I change tapes via mtx, and then dump to them via the
changerless config. After the current run I will assign tapes to slots
as mentioned.

Thanks a lot, Stefan
