What's in your changer config file?
-sh-3.2$ more changer.conf

What's the output of : mtx -f /dev/sg? status
MTX looks fine:
-sh-3.2$ mtx -f /dev/sg3 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg3:1 Drives, 16 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )

Storage Element 10:Empty
Storage Element 11:Empty

What's in the debug file?
-sh-3.2$ more changer.debug

So, it would appear that I need to specify firstslot in my changer.conf.
BUT when I do that, it sees 16 slots, but calls them all "slot 1" and
the changer.debug has no output:
-sh-3.2$ amtape dailyfull show
amtape: scanning all 16 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
And when I try to change to the next slot:
-sh-3.2$ amtape dailyfull slot next
amtape: changed to slot 1 on tape:/dev/nst0
-sh-3.2$ amtape dailyfull slot next
amtape: changed to slot 1 on tape:/dev/nst0
-sh-3.2$
I'm stumped. mtx and mt work fine.
Thanks for your help with this, and thank you for your continued work on
amanda, it is a wonderful suite of programs.

Hi All,
I have been banging my head against this all day:
I have a superloader3 16 slot LTO3 unit I am trying to set up. For
some reason, the glue script only sees one slot (slot 1):
-sh-3.2$ /usr/libexec/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -info
1 1 1 1
-sh-3.2$ amtape dailyfull show
amtape: scanning all 1 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 1: time X label week1tape1
I am using 2.6.0p2 on Centos 5.2.
any ideas?
