Make that easily 5 or 10 minutes if the library somehow has to inventory its content, because a tape magazine has been extracted and reinserted for instance. I have the very same library on a centos host (Dan's guess regarding the changer device name looks right). They are awfully slow when it comes to moving tapes. If it has to bring a number of them in front of its barcode reader, you'll have to wait before a "mtx status" or "update slots" works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
