If you don't get any output, then that suggests that you have the wrong device
or something is wrong with the changer or how it's connected to the operating
system. You should see something like this:
>sudo mtx -f /dev/library_pv-124t status
Storage Changer /dev/library_pv-124t:1 Drives, 16 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Storage Element 1:Empty
Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=MN1015L5
Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=MN1005L5
Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=MN1013L5
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=MN1014L5
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=MN1010L5
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=MN1009L5
Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=MN1007L5
Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=MN1008L5
Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=MN1004L5
Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=MN1011L5
Storage Element 12:Full :VolumeTag=MN1012L5
Storage Element 13:Full :VolumeTag=MN1006L5
Storage Element 14:Full :VolumeTag=MN1000L5
Storage Element 15:Empty
Storage Element 16:Full :VolumeTag=CLNU00L1
