-- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.8 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mtx depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib mtx recommends no packages. mtx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information When the autochanger/library contains more than about 24574 total elements (slots+drives+mailslots), mtx fails. This is probably due to running over its buffer. Could mtx be enhanced to iteratively issue Read Element Status for some reasonable number of elements, bumping up starting element number? Then there will be no dependency on mtx' buffer size. root@wkdebian:~# mtx -f /dev/sg6 status|more mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes mtx: Request Sense: Valid Residual=no mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=0 (Unknown?!) mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=No Sense mtx: Request Sense: FileMark=no mtx: Request Sense: EOM=no mtx: Request Sense: ILI=no mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Code = 00 mtx: Request Sense: Additional Sense Qualifier = 00 mtx: Request Sense: BPV=no mtx: Request Sense: Error in CDB=no mtx: Request Sense: SKSV=no READ ELEMENT STATUS Command Failed root@wkdebian:~# root@wkdebian:~# -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
