Strange thing is that I use the /usr/local/sbin/mtx-changer in my bacula-sd.conf which uses the mtx script!! Also, it looks like the correct usage is "inquiry":- ------snip---- Usage: mtx --version mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] noattach <more commands> mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] inquiry | inventory mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] [nobarcode] status mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] first [<drive#>] mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] last [<drive#>] mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] next [<drive#>] mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] previous [<drive#>] mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] [invert] load <storage-element-number> [<drive#>] mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] [invert] unload [<storage-element-number>][<drive#>] mtx [ -f <loader-dev> ] [eepos eepos-number] transfer <storage-element-number> <storage-element-number> mtx [ -f <device> ] eject ------snip----
However, this fails too:- # mtx -f /dev/ch0 inquiry cannot open SCSI device '/dev/ch0' - Inappropriate ioctl for device But this works:- # mtx -f /dev/pass1 inquiry Product Type: Medium Changer Vendor ID: 'OVERLAND' Product ID: 'LXB ' Revision: '0106' Attached Changer: No Just for info, my scsi devices look like this:- # camcontrol devlist <PE/PV 1x6 SCSI BP 1.0> at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (pass0,ses0) <OVERLAND LXB 0106> at scbus2 target 14 lun 0 (pass1,ch0) <HP Ultrium 2-SCSI F6CH> at scbus2 target 15 lun 0 (pass2,sa0) Not sure why it claims that there is no changer though. > chio seems to work OK, but I think examples/autochangers/chio-bacula > (installed to /usr/local/sbin/chio-bacula by the FreeBSD port) may > need updating. > > > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
