You can use the existing multi changer to do this.  It treats the file
device as a tape drive and each tape directory as one tape in the changer
slot.  No need to do anything except config.  I have this running on RedHat
8 using the latest 2.4.4.  Build Amanda yourself and remove the RH Amanda
rpms.  

On my 120G second drive, formatted as one partition, I have 7 15G 'tapes'
and the rest for holding.
