Just to check, be sure you have the 'changerfile' set to something like
"/<path-to>/<amanda-config>/<Changer>", and have a file called
"/<path-to>/<amanda-config>/<Changer>.conf". Look inside the chg-zd-mtx
script itself for what to put in it. It will be like this (this is
mine):
firstslot=17 #### 1st tape slot
lastslot=30 #### Last tape slot
cleanslot=1 #### Slot with cleaner tape
# Do you want to clean the drive after a certain number of accesses?
# NOTE - This is unreliable, since 'accesses' aren't 'uses', and we
# have no reliable way to count this. A single amcheck could
# generate as many accesses as slots you have, plus 1.
# ALSO NOTE - many modern tape loaders handle this automatically.
AUTOCLEAN=0 #### Set to '1' or greater to enable
autocleancount=99 #### Number of access before a clean.
havereader=1 #### If you have a barcode reader, set to 1.
offlinestatus=1 #### Set to 0 if 'mt status' gives an
#### "offline" when drive is offline.
#### Set to 1 or greater if 'mt status'
#### doesn't give and offline, rather an
#### "ONLINE" when drive is online.
OFFLINE_BEFORE_UNLOAD=0 #### Does your tape driver require a
#### 'mt offline' before mtx unload?
