hi there, have u tried to use mtx itself from shell? and see what results will give simple mtx -f /dev/sg0 status or whatever your autochanger device node is i dont know debian but i guess /dev/nst0 is tape drive itself not autochanger device so to move; load; unload tapes u have to use for example sg0 (if it works) like for example mtx -f /dev/sg0 load 3 /dev/nst0 0 should load tape from slot 3 to tape drive of course u can load tape from bconsole as well permissions are one thing and next thing is if mtx-changer is doing a job and u have proper device in SD conf good luck -- bEsT rEgArDs | "Confidence is what you have before you tomasz dereszynski | understand the problem." -- Woody Allen TD840-RIPE | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
