http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/RAIT_Device might be one way. The RAIT code they're using was developed at LLNL, and is GPL-friendly, I believe. The separate manual drive approach would work with this, or you could simply treat them as 1 drive autochangers and implement a script extension for 'mtx load' to issue operator messages on those drives rather than drive an actual autochanger. Ugly, but it would work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
