The global changerfile is is a configuration file for the old changer API
The changer changerfile is used as a state file by some of the new changer.

Hi,
I'm working on setting up a robot tape changer.
The docs for "chg-robot:DEVICE" say this:"the changerfile parameter
can be used to specify a filename at which it should store its state.
Ordinarily, this state is stored in a file named after the changer
device under $localstatedir/amanda, e.g.,
/var/amanda/chg-robot-dev-sg0. There should be a single such statefile
for each distinct tape library attached to the Amanda server, even if
multiple Amanda configurations reference that library."
Is this saying I have to define 'changerfile', or that it will default
to placing it in $localstatedir/amanda?
Also, some other refs to this param on the web say that it's for a
configuration file, not a state file. Can I ignore those?
Thanks.
