While we're on the subject of mtx-changer configs, I'm thinking it might be helpful if the strings mtx-changer looks for when it queries the autochanger for slot status (i.e. the "list" section and presumably the "listall" section) were moved into the mtx-changer.conf file. This would make upgrading easier. In my case, the change I have to re-put back in every time I upgrade allows me to use the I/O slots as regular slots. Somebody else just asked about how to use their I/O slots similarly on one of the bacula lists so it appears I'm not alone. I do realize this is not a high priority item but it would be a cool smallish change, imho. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
