Re: [Bacula-users] Use Import/Export slots of autochanger

A quick look at the mtx-changer script shows that these lines are probably
causing you the trouble... they're inside the section for the "list" command:
if test ${vxa_packetloader} -ne 0 ; then
cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " *Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | sed "s/
Storage Element //" | sed "s/Full :VolumeTag=//"
else
cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | awk "{print
\$3 \$4}" | sed "s/Full *\(:VolumeTag=\)*//"
fi
Notice that the regex in the first part won't match your IMPORT/EXPORT slots.
My hunch is that you'll need to modify those greps, and probably the awk/sed
immediately afterward...
Another thing to check is whether or not mtx-changer is getting the correct
number of total slots available when it's asked for it -- if not you'll have to
fix that behavior too, probably..
Hope that helps!
