Hello,

I'm having some problems with a HP SureStore418 autochanger. The btape 
autochanger test fails

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf 
SureStore1 -d 4 -v

Ah, I see you have an autochanger configured.
To test the autochanger you must have a blank tape
 that I can write on in Slot 1.

Do you wish to continue with the Autochanger test? (y/n): y

The test failed, probably because you need to put
a longer sleep time in the mtx-script in the load) case.

Slot 1 loaded. I am going to unload it.

--> It takes more than 10 minutes before it unloads Slot 1 then reloads 
Slot 1..
--> From now on, it keeps doing that until I force stop it.

--> I read earlier that Keith Hopkins (Bacula)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
--> Had similar problems. Anyone solved it?

I running on FC5 (latest kernel) previously used 1.38.10 rpm then 
upgraded to 1.38.11 rpm. I posted some questions but no one replied so I 
tried compiling from source 1.38.11 and I'm getting the same problem...

Can anyone give me some pointers on where to even attempt to 
trouble-shoot this problem?
