You are right! /dev/sg0 yields some ATA nonsense, but /dev/sg1 tells me it is an Exabyte 1x10 1u. I will give it another try. FWIW, I am making some assumptions about the identity of the tape drive in there. tapeinfo -f /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 shows nothing and requires CTL-C to relinquish the command prompt. /dev/st1 gives an error. The mtx-changer command works, as does the label barcode command. WooHoo! I get to keep my miserable job. Thanks. Does the OS -- and, by extension, Bacula -- associate the device names with the SCSI ID number? E.g., if the tape drive is ID 0, it will be /dev/st0, and if the changer is ID 1, the device will be /dev/sg1? -- Tks n rgds, Richard White CNE6, Linux+ Network Engineer Mason County, Washington 360-427-5501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
