Hi all,
I have an Overland ARCVault 24 LOT3 tape changer library which can
reserve either 1 or 12 of it's slots as Import/Export slots.
When I reserve 12 slots, the number of slots available, as seen by mtx
is 12, which makes sense. When I reserve only a single slot for I/E,
the changer uses slot 1, but mtx reports slot 24:
$ mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=004038L2
[...]
Storage Element 23:Empty
Storage Element 24 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty
Is this a matter of mtx assuming that cleaning and I/E slots are
always the last slot by convention? Or is there a way to configure
MTX to report this correctly?
Or, is this a bug with mtx, and should I report it directly to the mtx list?
Thanks.
