Hello Amanda Users,
I'm running

MTX 1.3.8
MTX itself seems to work correctly (see output below).
However I'm unable to get proper replies either from the
glue script nor from amanda (which one would expect with
a problem with the level underneath).
Perhaps I've selected the wrong glue script for this robot ?

These error being explained (I think) by this output, which I do
not understand.

Doubly odd since the only tape is loaded.

According to the comments in chg-zd-mtx, there should be 3 or 4
numbers returned: current slot, number of slots, if it cam go backwards,
and optionally a 1 if you have a barcode reader.
The 'test: argument expected' error most likely means one of the
test statements in the script is trying to evaluate a null variable.
Does your changerfile for that config define all the necessary parameters?
Try working through all the commands in the section of comments at the
top of the script on testing your setup. Also check to see that the
shell listed on the first line uses a test compatible with the arguments
used in the script (some shells use a built-in test, others do a system
call to a standalone test program) and not all can test for all the same
things.
If you still can't find anything, try adding in an echo statement
before each test to print the argument variables and see which one(s) is
causing it to bomb.

You get the idea.
samar 55% mtx -f /dev/scsi/sc1d4l0 status

MTX inventory returns without any output, perhaps normal behaviour
if the other slots are empty (the users seem to have pillaged the tapes
performing their own archives - which is actually a welcome change).
thank you,
Brian
