So it's right where you started? :-) I guess you'll have to track the slot numbers yourself, as the library simply doesn't do that for I/O-slots. (Which slots or magazines are used for im/export can probably be configured, but I assume that you want them as import/export slots so your operators can easily swap tapes.) Actually, all the information you need is already in the catalog, you've just got to modify mtx-changer to look the slot numbers up in the catalog, and when doing the listing, you need to ensure the I/O-slots are considered. I'm planning something similar for a customer who probably needs to use all the slots they have soon, but they are not there yet...
