You found the current slot correctly, in the changer state. However, amtape taper does not return the next slot - it returns the next tape the taper will write to, by applying the taperscan algorithm - see amanda-taperscan(7). So what you have is not a changer misconfiguration, but your tapes are arranged such that the next tape Amanda will use is in slot 4. chg-multi is not fast-searchable, so stage 1 will be skipped, in this case. The new implementation of this algorithm is a good bit more verbose, so you can at least see what Amanda is "thinking" Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
