With lsscsi I never find a device for /dev/nst0 is why I went with
/dev/sg0 is it possible bacula is expecting the latter and resolves it
on its own somehow?

This is the output from lsscsi -g
[4:0:4:0]    tape    HP       Ultrium 4-SCSI   W24W  /dev/st0  /dev/sg0
[4:0:4:1]    mediumx HP       1x8 G2 AUTOLDR   2.60  /dev/sch0  /dev/sg1

Is there something in the bacula manual on how to turn on logging in the
mtx-changer script, how do I do that?


This was very helpful thanks.
Joe

In the section:

Device {
   Name = "Ultrium 4-SCSI"

Look at the line:

Archive Device = /dev/sg0


It is likely that it should be something like:

Archive Device = /dev/nst0

If that isn't it, then enable logging for the mtx-changer script and see
what the log 
file says about the failed load.  You can test with "mount" and
"release", rather 
than attempting to "label".
