Try to look at your /var/run/dmesg.boot. Tape changer device is /dev/passX, where X is a number. If you have mtx installed on your system, you can see what slots are used with mtx -f /dev/passX status. I suspect that you have tape in the tape drive ( /dev/sa0), but no tapes in changer (/dev/passX). Hope that helps. Simas Cepaitis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
