I see, so in this case, I would create a single-drive autochanger which points to /dev/faketape and write a replacement script for mtx-changer which changes the target of the /dev/faketape link to /dev/st[0-2] based on the requested tape? Along those same lines, would it be possible to create a three drive autochanger with three slots (or zero slots?) and still use Bacula's internal tape management features? Since there are three loaded tapes and three drives in the autochanger it should never request a tape to be loaded, right?
