You are correct. I have been testing the chg-zd-mtx from the CL. Not
inside amanda and
so far everything is working correctly. The only command that is hanging is
the loading of a tape
ie. /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -slot 6
will actually load the tape but never exit or give me an exit status. The
debug output look like
LOADSLOT -> load tape from slot 6
-> loading tape from slot 6 to /dev/nrsa0
-> status 0, result ''
What is confusing is if I use /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -reset it will
eject the tape and load the first slot successfully. Am I missing something
in the conf file?
