It looks like sg3 should be the device name for your changer (sg2 is the drive
device). Change your superload item in the sd.conf and try some more.
Email me if you have more questions.

I give up trying and start hoping... hoping someone here could help me...
My problem is, that bacula (and even mtx) won't use my autochanger as
it would be built for...
mtx recognises it [1] but that's all.
According to this, I set up my bacula-sd.conf: [2]
Everything looks great so far, doesn't it? (I'm pretty shure that sg2 is the
right device but although I tested with sg3: Same behaviour.
The problem is now that bacula won't accept or even detect some Tapes.
The 'label' command prints me some mtx-errors [3] and prints:
Label command failed for Volume TestTape001.
I have added some outputs of bconsole [4]... Confusing is, that the it seems
that there is somewhere a tape labeled with "Montag" but it is not mounted
although bconsole tells that it is mounted.
The 'create' command responses with an error too that say something like:
'Pool Default already exists'.
Why the hell is he trying the "slots" command on "Drive-1", my
archive-device [5]?
I guess it's just a lack of understanding how this whole tape-thing works.
Of corse I've read through the documentation an found a lot of helpful
things but at the moment I can turn page about page but can't find
anything...
Thanks a lot in advice.
sincerely,
christoph
