I am new to Bacula and I am in the process of installing and configuring the 
software.  Something that is giving me some headaches is the mtx numbering on 
the drives vs the /dev/st assignments.  The output of the mtx status on the 
auto changer and the the device assignment is below:


Data Transfer Element 0:Empty  <-- /dev/st5

Data Transfer Element 1:Empty  <-- /dev/st1

Data Transfer Element 2:Empty  <-- /dev/st0

Data Transfer Element 3:Empty  <-- /dev/st2

Data Transfer Element 4:Empty  <-- /dev/st3

Data Transfer Element 5:Empty  <-- /dev/st4


Ideally, I'd like the numbering to correspond, but I'm finding that would take 
writing some udev rules.  I don't have any experience in doing that and most 
examples reference writing for sd.  I know I assign the index number to the 
device in bacula-sd.  So, should the naming convention work best to match the 
transfer element or the scsi tape number?  I'v found some references to the use 
of environment variables for the tape devices.  I can see where this would be 
helpful in scripts.  What is the "rule of thumb" for addressing this issue?
