I removed the status for all other slots because they are identical to
the 16th one.
Here you have it:
{
Storage Changer /dev/sg3:1 Drives, 16 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Unknown Storage Element Loaded)
Storage Element 1:Full
Storage Element 2:Full
Storage Element 3:Full
Storage Element 4:Full
Storage Element 5:Full
Storage Element 6:Full
Storage Element 7:Full
Storage Element 8:Full
Storage Element 9:Full
Storage Element 10:Full
Storage Element 11:Full
Storage Element 12:Full
Storage Element 13:Full
Storage Element 14:Full
Storage Element 15:Full
Storage Element 16:Full
}
But it's just as you've said, they are full - with tapes inside of course.
And they were inserted inside before the OS was installed.
Anyway, if they are in, or not, i don't know if that's a reason for what
you've said:
(The autochanger has certainly lost track of which slot the tape in the
drive came from, and that could be the reason.)

No, nothing like that.

Hm, i can try that, but at monday, as the tape device is placed in the
company.

Well, and is there in the manual of the C2 something helpful for this
"case"?
thx for the reply
