Hi,

I try to install an amanda server on a Linux Enterprise pc with
the standard redhat rpms's. The pc is connected to an Exabyte 230D
DLT jukebox with 1 drive and 31 slots.

As far as I can see the basics are running fine, except one thing:
I can not read the barcodes on tapes in the jukebox  with one of
the am*-tools.

The only tool which gives the barcodes is mtx. After "mtx inquiry"
the "mtx status" command lists barcodes.

But "amtape <conf> show" starts to load all tapes one by one in
order to read an amanda label.
I like to see it reading the barcodes!

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you in advance,
Wim
