My connfiguration is not "too" different: a Dell optiplex dual pentium
with a Spectralogic 2K (a hand me down) with 30 slots; the OS is Centos.
You do need to install mtx (it comes with CentOS, which is a Red Hat EL
clone obtained from  metal filings scraped from the cabinet of a server
running RHEL). The mtx configuration in my case was trivial. It's a good
idea to function the changer device "by hand" to see that it works. I
had to do a modprobe sg in rc.local to make sure that the devices were
loaded.

Subject: Migrating to Amanda, question 1

I would like to migrate from BRU to Amanda.

Instead of asking a bunch of questions I will just ask one per posting.

We have a Quantum SCSI tape drive with 8 slots.  The OS is Fedora4 on
a Dell Optiplex G110 pentium III.

Question: since we have a autoloader/medium changer, besides mt-tools
do I also need to install mtx?

Thanks,
