Joel,

Hmmmm.  I have a jukebox with two drives attached to a NetApp and two drives
attached to a linux box.  We are using Networker 6.1.1 build 238.  I have an
"autochanger module" license and an "NDMP client connections" license.  I have
no "shared autochanger" product.

I have the same setup and all my indexes get written to a separate pool.  I
forget the algorithm Networker uses for this but I think it is covered in the
SAG.
