In 7.4.2 and 7.4.3 the auto-configure option for jukeboxes actually
works very well. Generally I am not a fan of wizards and
auto-configuration, but in my recent experience this works for some
fairly complex configurations, and can save a LOT of time compared to
using jbconfig and/or jbedit. Got to say, though, this bit of the GUI
sucks, once you have a largish number of drives and storage nodes it
gives you an unmanageable window with broken scrolling.
