Thanks all for your reply and informative document!
As stated on my previous message, I was using root to run bacula services and
assumed it has no privilege issue. But not sure whether I have to run as bacula
ID since I saw some suggested to do so?
root 14419 1 4 May08 ? 06:03:09 /sbin/bacula-sd -v -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
root 14440 1 25 May08 ? 1-07:39:19 /sbin/bacula-fd -v -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
root 14463 1 0 May08 ? 00:02:01 /sbin/bacula-dir -v -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
I wonder why the command prompted me to check "sg device" but not "sd device"
since I was connected a USB docking with dual slots.
Recap:
#Bacula is running as root
[root@backupsys bacula]# /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf
list
/etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf is not an sg device, or old sg driver
[root@backupsys bacula]# su bacula /etc/bacula/mtx-changer
/etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf list
cannot open SCSI device '/etc/bacula/usbchanger1.conf' - Permission denied
I am going to have more information by the command with debug option as shown
on Dan's website (It's great! Appreciate to share with us!).
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Keith

I can confirm Kern's words - one of the largest Bacula build-in virtual
autochanger configuration which I was implemented consist of 80 devices in a
single autochanger. It works a far better then any disk-changer or vchanger
scripts.
