Hi, you need to run btape to ensure compatibility with your tape library / tape drive. First, you'll need to find out which scsi generic device represents your changer device (probably /dev/sg1, dependent on the scsi id you've configured for the changer). Unless you tell Bacula where your tape changer is, it won't be able to load other tapes using mtx. Here's an example from our setup: Autochanger { Name = Overland Device = DLT8000 Changer Command = "/server/bacula/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/changer } Where /dev/changer is a symlink to the generic scsi device: /dev/changer -> /dev/sg6 and /proc/scsi/scsi has the following entry: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 01 Vendor: HP Model: 1x8 autoloader Rev: 1.46 Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 03 HTH, uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp, NIONEX GmbH (http://www.nionex.com/) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +49 (0)5241 / 80 10 66 FAX: / 806 23 38 Avenwedder Str. 55, D-33311 Guetersloh, Germany GnuPG KeyID: 5887047D, Fingerprint: 2E1320229A3F63 7F676FE9B1A836A461 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
