Sorry. Must have been sleeping. Using changers with RAIT isn't easy. Luckily I had written my own changer program[me] to make multiple changers appear as one to Amanda (which only understands one), and it was pretty easy to modify that to support RAIT. It also fakes a bar code reader, so Amanda does a search for, say, rait-2-23, and the changer code loads the five tapes that make up the RAIT.
If anyone wants to try running multiple changers, I can send a copy of the hack, er I mean code.

You must have been a non-responder to the recent survey as zero responders said they used RAIT. -- Jon H.
