Hi, as i'm using chg-scsi with some changers under linux let's check a few things : 1.) remove all comments from chg-scsi.conf, sometimes i had problems with chg-scsi which went away after removing them all. 2.) set lastslot to 4 or your cleaningtape will be loaded in every search cycle through the magazin. (probably not what you want) 3.) your changer and your tapedrive are recognized at bootup by the kernel, correct? ( do you see both when you do a "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" ?)

I've not used the scsi chg script/program. Have you read and done what it says in the documentation and example files to set up config files for chg-scsi ...
Yes, indeed I have. Here's my chg-scsi.conf:
number_configs 1 eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command sleep 5 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets ready cleanmax 10 # How many times could a cleaning tape get used changerdev /dev/sg1 # # Next comes the data for drive 0 # config 0 drivenum 0 dev /dev/nst0 # the device that is used for the tapedrive 0 startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0 enduse 5 # statfile /etc/amanda/tape-slot # The file where the actual slot is stored cleancart 5 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge for drive 0 is located cleanfile /etc/amanda/tape-clean # The file where the cleanings are recorded usagecount /etc/amanda/backup/totaltime
