Hello All,

I'm doing a research on more automated ways of determining the Tape Library 
Drives' order identification from Linux standpoint.

If you have a physical tape, would you please send me in private the following?

 1. The output of the command: "for i in $(ls /dev/tape/by-id/*); do udevadm info 
--name $i |tee; done"
 2. The operating system version.

Rgds.


Hello Heitor,

Have you looked at the script that I just released two days ago yet?

https://github.com/waa/bacula-resource-auto-creator


FYI: There is no `udev` on FreeBSD, so the udevadm route will not work on that 
platform.

The above script literally loads a tape into a drive then properly identifies with library it is in and the correct Bacula DriveIndex setting.

Also, udevadm fails to provide usable information when `lin_tape` is in use* - as we have seen from our WhatsApp chat last evening. :)


*Note: I have not added lin _tap
e support yet, but plan on it very shortly. :)



Best regards,
Bill
