There is no /dev/chg device. You use the /dev/sg devices as the changer
device, which is why you need the generic scsi device. For example,
in my chg-scsi.conf file I have the line:
changerdev /dev/sgb
This makes the device that amanda communicates with to change tape, /dev/sgb
not /dev/chg. I don't know where everyone is finding /dev/chg, I don't see it
in the amanda source tree anywhere, but you're not the first to get confused
byt this. I remember I had a difficul time setting it up as well.
So, to sum it all up, anywhere you see /dev/chg, change that to /dev/sgX where
X is the letter or number corresponding to the changer device on your system.
Hope that helps clear things up a little.
