Hello,

Are you saying that this is a bug in mtx?   If so, do you know what versions 
have the problem and in which version it is fixed?  Having the version 
information is rather important because I imagine that most people such as 
myself use the version that is installed by the distribution.

Also, I'm wondering if a configuration problem isn't causing problems.  
Normally for doing an update slots, you should be using the Autochanger 
resource -- i.e. the name of the autochanger and not the name of a particular 
drive.  The output below seems to be referring to a particular drive such as 
Drive-0 or Drive-1, and I am wondering if that is correct.  The silly command 
prompt for "update slots" seems to ask for a drive number (I have two drives, 
and think this prompt really should not be there and is probably ignored), 
but when I do an update slots, it never prints anything about an individual 
drive name, but always refers to the autochanger (mine is called 
LTO-changer).

Best regards,

Kern
