They are probably right

Firstly reboot your server making sure that you have the SCSI
devices on before that.
This as Linux in its standard incarnation will behave as badly as
Windows and remap the drives according to the order in which it finds
them at every reboot/reload of st-driver.
Secondly use "inquire" to get the /dev/xxxx path for the drives.
Thirdly use "sjisn" to get the order of the drives that the library
sees.
Then match the serial numbers to get a table where:
library drive #1 = /dev/xxxx
library drive #2 = /dev/yyyy
Then edit the jukebox resource to get the drives in library order,
alternatively reconfigure the jukebox
If you are running 7.3 or 7.4 Networker will do the job for you,
just remember the reboot to get the initial order right.
Best
