Hm. Well, the man page says "Update the changer label database, if it has one". Did it exist already before running that command? -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

I've got barcodes set up and mtx seems to find them: Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 23 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 7 Loaded):VolumeTag = 07 Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=01 but the barcodes file I told it to make is empty even after an "amtape update" run. -- thanks, Will

As you label tapes, amanda will populate a file named $CONFIG/CHANGER-barcodes, with a list of tape labels and their corresponding barcodes. Whether or not amanda uses this list, I don't actually know. But it can be very helpful to you at restore time. To get your barcode reader working, install mtx. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
Re: barcode reader help (and faq-o-matic-toast?)
Thanks! But I was looking for information on what amanda uses the barcode reader in the robot for, and how to make the tapechanger scripts do it -- not on how to print labels.

barcode reader help (and faq-o-matic-toast?)
I've got a Dell PV132T changer I'm trying to get working and I'm looking for the stuff that used to be on the faq-o-matic about barcode readers. The FOM seems to be toast. Anybody know where I can find it? (and is the FOM gone for good?) -- thanks, Will
