I'm on 1.38.3 here, but the above raises a question: I have 2 pools of tapes for each autochanger here (obviously only one can be loaded at a time) what exactly does this feature allow? I'm not following here. Right now when I look at a List Volumes, it shows each pool of tapes in the correct slots and changers, even though only one group of 6 tapes is actually physically loaded into the device at any one time. Does that make any sense? ===[George R. Kasica]=== +1 262 677 0766 President +1 206 374 6482 FAX Netwrx Consulting Inc.
