I had a problem like that when I first started using my Exabyte changer, and
it turned out that it requires an explicit eject before the picker will move
the tape from the drive. Can you move tapes with any utility outside of
AMANDA? The 'userland' utility that I use shows which tapes are accessible
to the picker, and it only shows the tape in the drive as accessible once it
has been ejected.
The output looks like this:
/dev/sch0: mt=1 st=10 ie=0 dt=1
medium transport
0:
storage
0: access full
1: access full
2: access full
3: access full
4: access full
5: access full
6: access full
7: access full
8: access full
9: access
import/export
data transfer
0: full
If the tape in the drive was ejected, the last line would be "0: access
full".

Subject: Can load but can't eject tapes...
Hey ppl..
I have a problem with amanda, it can load the tape on my DLT7 Autoloader
from
Tandberg, but it can't eject the tapes..
I have attached the debug file, the amanda.conf and the chg-scsi.conf file..
The output from amtape Daily show:
amtape: scanning all 5 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 1: reading label: Input/output error
amtape: could not load slot 2: slot 2 move failed
The input/output error, might be becourse i have new tapes in the changer..
