I'm using an LTO4 tape library and amanda 3.2.1.  When I do:

amtape <conf> slot next

Amanda skips over the slot I want it to use and goes to the last
available slot.  For example, if the current slot is 4 and I want
to use tape 5, it is skipped over and 6 is loaded instead (7 is a
cleaning tape).  Here's my tape entry in amanda.conf:

define changer "gen-drive-0" {
  tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
  changerfile "/local/etc/amanda/gen/changer-state"
  property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/gentape"
  property "eject-before-unload" "no"
  property "use-slots" "1-7"
  property "fast-search" "no"
  property "ignore-barcodes" "yes"
  property "load-poll" "0 s poll 3 s until 120 s"
}

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Steve
