I think you can run the same commands on mtx that chg-scsi takes. WARNING: I have not looked to see if all commands are supported by MTX and I have not looked at which ones may be destructive to tape contents. Do your research there before you start unless you are using a blank tape you can relabel.
>From the directory where your amanda.conf and chg-mtx.conf file are run the chg-mtx command directly. The valid commands for chg-scsi are: chg-mtx -slot [#] chg-mtx -info chg-mtx -reset chg-mtx -eject chg-mtx -clean chg-mtx -label [param] chg-mtx -search [param] chg-mtx -status [param] chg-mtx -trace [param] chg-mtx -inventory chg-mtx -dumpdb chg-mtx -scan chg-mtx -genconf Scott...

Either way, when I run amlabel now, I get something like "Changer reported Usage:" Now 'Usage:' is the first thing mtx writes when you mess up a command. So something isn't passing right. Is there a way for me to see what mtx is being handed? The fact I don't know script doesn't help this :{ Thanks list, I appreciate any assistance..,! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
