Craig,
Yes, looking at my /kernel/drv/sgen.conf file I also see that it
is pretty simple (simpler than I'd though/remembered).
All of the other lines are comments, these 3 lines seem to completely
cover both my L9 and my C2 changers.
device-type-config-list="changer";
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0;
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=4 lun=1;
This may sounds stupid... reboot -- -r
and while I can't imagine it, the protections on that file, mine are
6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 3033 Jan 9 2003 sgen.conf
Now I'm worried... I didn't have the c2 that long ago, I don't think
(these things are starting to get fuzzy for me).
