Hello again,

Good feeling gone...

~$ amcheck DailySet1
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------

       (expecting tape B0000003 or a new tape)
<client check snipped>
(brought to you by Amanda 2.5.0p2)

And

~$ amtape DailySet1 update
changer: got exit: 0 str: 2 10 1 1
changer_query: changer return was 10 1 1
changer_query: searchable = 1
amtape: scanning all 10 slots in tape-changer rack:
changer_find: looking for NULL changer is searchable = 1
changer: got exit: 0 str: 2 /dev/nst0
slot 2: not an amanda tape (Invalid argument)
changer: got exit: 0 str: 3 /dev/nst0
slot 3: not an amanda tape (Invalid argument)

Where is "NULL changer" defined?

mtx status reports the tape barcode labels accurately read.

The compile options were copied from the previous version and updated as required to match the new options.

I'm using chg-zd-mtx with an Exabyte VXA PacketLoader 1x10 1U. Should I be using something else?

TIA
