I have tryed to copy everything from the CVS version changer-src to the
amanda 2.4.2p2 changer-src.. this was the only thing i cloud do, if i want it
compiled.

Have also tryed this on the 2.4.2p2 release, in the CVS it alrady is out
commentated...
Also tryed with the patch from Charles.. on 2.4.2p2 release version..
and tryed to out comment, what Thomas recommented, on the patched version,
but that did't work either.
Any suggestions to what i should try now ??
BTW: Running kernel 2.4.4pre4 at the moment.. Have also tryed with 2.2.18..

Have allready tryed that, but it don't work.. But if i use the chg-scsi changer software to change tape, after running "mt -f /dev/nst0 offline" it CAN change the tape...

Can load but can't eject tapes...
Hey ppl..
I have a problem with amanda, it can load the tape on my DLT7 Autoloader from
Tandberg, but it can't eject the tapes..
I have attached the debug file, the amanda.conf and the chg-scsi.conf file..
The output from amtape Daily show:
amtape: scanning all 5 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 1: reading label: Input/output error
amtape: could not load slot 2: slot 2 move failed
The input/output error, might be becourse i have new tapes in the changer..
