My amanda.conf contains these lines (for config "curie")

> grep curie amanda.conf
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/curie/chg-zd-mtx"
infofile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/curie/DailySet1/curinfo"        # database 
DIRECTORY
logdir   "/usr/local/etc/amanda/curie/DailySet1"                # log directory
indexdir "/usr/local/etc/amanda/curie/DailySet1/index"          # index 
directory


In my case the file I'm talking about is chg-zd-mtx, per the
"changerfile" config parameter.

Note - suffix is not used in the changerfile definition but
is used on the actual config file.

I realize you use a different tape changer than I do.

> more chg-zd-mtx.conf 
firstslot=1
lastslot=23
#cleanslot=3
AUTOCLEAN=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=0
offlinestatus=0
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0
max_drive_wait=500
driveslot=0
