It is not the problem if you are running Linux. But it does look like the output of the mtx-changer script is not correct for the 'list' command. The excerpt from your mtx-changer script looks quite different from the one installed on my Linux system by Bacula 5.0.2. What version of Bacula are you using? What is the actual output of: billie:~# /usr/lib64/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg2 list /usr/lib64/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg2 list -bash: /usr/lib64/bacula/mtx-changer: No such file or directory My mtx-changer script appears to be in /etc/bacula/scripts/ billie:~# /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer /dev/sg2 list 1:A0000006 2:B0000005 3:A0000005 4:A0000004 5:B0000004 6:C0000005 7:A0000007 8:C0000006 9:A0000010 10:CLNA0001 I am using debian lenny *version billie-dir Version: 2.4.4 (28 December 2008) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu debian lenny/sid thanks, maria ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
