No, none.

I use version 2.4.2p2, compiled from sources.

Ahh... Okay, I will do that. I am compiling 2.4.3b4 right now, let's see. I 
just have to exchange chg-scsi right, nothing else?! I plan to stick with 
2.4.2p2 for now if possible, except for the chg-scsi... Is it possible to use 
the chg-scsi of 2.4.3b4 with the rest of Amanda 2.4.2p2?

Really? I did not notice that before. Well, maybe my changer does not have 
such a sensor?

No, I usually compile everything from source if I can :-).

So I noticed, it compiles, installs, and runs smoothly. Great work, Amanda 
developers! :-)

I've set it to "30" now which also seems to be OK. It won't change the 
behavior of the DAT changer, though, but that was obvious.
