What did now solve it?
chgrp'ing again?



After watching the trouble recur, I see that the device associated with the
changer SCSI device ID moved: it was /dev/sg2, today it is /dev/sg1. No
changes were made to the Exabyte LTO-2 tape library  or to the SCSI card (or
anything else). So there is something I'm failing to understand about udev,
SCSI or the Exabyte.

Perhaps during bootup I should attempt

mtx -f /dev/sg0 status
mtx -f /dev/sg1 status

until I have a valid status, and link
/dev/changer to that, then refer to /dev/changer in amanda.conf. That's a
workaround: somehow the device assigned to the changer moves on occasion,
after a reboot. Perhaps I should be referring to the changer device in some
other way (bus number, SCSI ID, lun...).

Thanks again.
