Hi Flak,
I use mtx all the time with my Quantum PX502 Autochanger (LTO-3, FC, One
Drive) on RHEL 4 AS (32-bit). The only gotcha is that FC AL does not
work with the autochanger, and I was forced to use FC Point-to-Point.
If you are doing FC Point-to-Point you need to have an FC switch or a
I currently have a Quantum-SL3 autochanger working with Bacula running on
Solaris with a LVD-SCSI connection.
We're looking at acquiring a 2nd one and attaching it via fiber channel to a
Linux host and driving that one with Bacula too.
The MTX compatiblity page doesn't have any indication of

Yes.
Whether fibre channel or traditional scsi, changers are seen as scsi
devices.
So Arno indicates that fiber
Yes. FCP (FibreChannel Protocol) is a derivative of the SCSI command
set and looks just like it from the operating system's perspective.
Odds are the same high-level SCSI driver in the Linux kernel would be
used in both cases (SCSI Fiber) so mtx will probably work
out-of-the-box if you have
