Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with Tandberg 1U StorageLoaderTM DLT
VS160 controlled from a Linux box running Amanda?
My problem is getting the changer to work properly. Unfortunately it
does not support sequential or cycle mode. I tried mtx but it doesn't
work properly - it's unable to determine where it should put the tapes
back to coming from the drive. I want to user Amandas changer support
and i've tried chg-zd-mtx but it fails on reset:
1 Drive not ready after 120 seconds, rewind said "/dev/sg1: Operation
not permitted"
I have no changer, but AFAIK, /dev/sg1 is used to drive the changer
(advance slots, etc), but not the tapedrive itself; to rewind (and
read/write) you should still use the /dev/nst* devices.
Thanks. You're right, the tapedrive should be set to /dev/nst0. I
realized that the chg-zd-mtx script i used was old and when getting the
newest from amanda sources it all worked perfectly.
