Does the autoloader support random access or
only sequential mode?
Did you set up chg-manual in amanda to change
tapes manually?
If yes: how do you control the media changer?
With mtx (http://mtx.sourceforge.net/) or
Autoloader Tape Library
(http://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~sblack/autoloader/)
or something else (mt, SCSI UNLOAD command,
Amanda's chg-mtx...)?
