i configured chg-zd-mtx, it works ok, besides that does not reall all
parameters from the config file
some parameters are read an some not, strange.
i then modified the cgh-zd-mtx directly and it works ok, but it would be
nicer if it reads the config file
properly.
regards,

why only some of configuration parameters are read
for example, firstslot and lastslot are read properly
but offline_before_unload not (and some others also not)?
which is the preferes changer method? chg-zd-mtx , chg-mtx, or chg-scsi?

This is very intermittent...
amdump always runs successfully
amcheck and amlabel, usually good, sometimes a little less so
amtape _always_ fails in the same manner.
Actually I was seeing a higher rate of success with amanda 2.4.3
on Solaris 8 but with the 2.4.4 chg-zd-mtx scri
A little more information. I f I put one tape in the last slot, then the
chg-zd-mtx -info show the right values, but if I change it back to another
slot, then it stop working again, and show the number of the last slot use,
for example, if I put the last tape into slot 7 I receive:
1 7 1

lastslot=9
Reg
=
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=
Storage Element 7:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 8:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 9:Empty:VolumeTag=
But if I use chg-zd-mtx, I get:
bash-2.05# /usr/local/libexec/chg-zd-mtx -info
5 6 1
So, I have 9 slots, 1 drive and the active tape is
