I have no idea as the cause of the error. However, mtx-changer can require customizations. There are many things to consider as there are many moving parts here. Permissions can be tricky to get right. These URLs document what I did. Don't rush through them. Take your time. Document what you are trying. This URL shows how I first used mtx-changer and the tests I did: http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-library.php This URL shows a lot of testing of mtx-changer from the command line: http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-labeling.php Take it slow. Understand what you are testing and why. Ask questions if you do not fully understand. > > Here is the error:- > > ---------------------------- > btape: btape.c:2736 End of tape 814:0.
