I used chg-multi for multipe "file-tapes". Think of it this way, /data is your "library" of tape drives. chg-multi is intended for using a group of single slot tapedrives. Then create subdirectories to represent the several drives under /data. They can have generic names, drive1 or slot1, or I named them according to what I was going to amlabel the tape in that "drive". Each subdirectory gets listed as a "slot" in chg-multi. Each subdirectory also needs a "data" directory. Finally, use amtape and amlabel to load "the tape" in each slot and label it as you want. -- Jon H.
