Yup. > Is it > normal for mtx to define "slots" as slots with tapes in them, versus slots > in total? Normal for chg-zd-mtx, that is, yes.

No sense mucking about with empty slots. > Also, if I run "/usr/sbin/amtape cas-unix show" amanda will show the tapes > in the pod, but won't unload the last tape it examined without a manual > "amtape eject." Is this normal, Yes. In general, all(?) amanda tape operations leave the tape in the drive and un-rewound unless you explicitly command otherwise. -- Jay Lessert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accelerant Networks Inc.
