When I run amcheck I get the following for each slot: amcheck-server: slot <n> : chg-multi : slot is empty .. and after the listing of slots it reports: ERROR: new tape not found in rack (expecting a new tape) I still get the same error when I attempt to run amlabel: amlabel: could not load slot "1" : chg-multi : slot is empty I have followed the instructions for the RPM included with Fedora and still I am getting these errors. I appreciate your help, but I am still apparently missing a key element in the configuration.
