Hate replying to myself but also found this in bacula list archives back in Feb. 2006: <http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09273.html> So here's a question for you Dan - are you still using rc-chio-changer w/FBSD-6.x or is mtx-changer now preferred? All other things being equal it's nice to have one less port to worry about... And I also note that there is yet another chio script in the port's files directory wh/is also called chio-bacula wh/is updated version of chio-bacula from examples directory to support multiple drive indexes? One might expect the files/chio-bacula would be the preferred chio script? Were it not for Dan's comments about rc-chio-changer in link above... -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD "Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room." - Sir Winston Churchill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
