This script definitely looks like the path to take. Did a quick trial implementation and it works as documented - it's just that I need something a little different. Biggest issue is that this script handles a single USB connection (per storage device) and I want to use two. Each disk is considered one magazine filled with a pile of tapes and I have to change that "magazine" now and then to avoid it filling up (or when it complains that it's full). Looked at disk-changer script and a quick glance it seems to do something similar, talks about diskfiles as slots. I will think about it a bit but the way I feel I want it done is to have another level between and the easiest way to do that is probably to move everything up one level. I have single "drive" that has a "magazine" with two "slots"/"tapes". Then each tape is really a physical disk with one big file on it. This way, when one disk/tape is filled up it should automatically move to next tapedisk and at some point I can replace the filled tapedisk with an empty one. One issue I see with this is that I would end up having a single 1T file on each disk and I don't think that's to good so I'm still open for suggestions. /ps
