Hadi,

Yes - sorry, I picked the one jukebox config at my site that
didn't give driveslot, I had three others I could have sent.

[nnewton] /usr/local/etc/amanda/newtonr 6> cat chg-zd-mtx.conf
firstslot=1
lastslot=9
#cleanslot=3
AUTOCLEAN=0
autocleancount=99
havereader=1
offlinestatus=0
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0
driveslot=0
