Are you sure /dev/sg0 is the changer? Use tapeinfo to tell you. For me its now /dev/sg5 but that will change when drives are added or removed from the system. dev6 ~ # tapeinfo -f /dev/sg5 Product Type: Medium Changer Vendor ID: 'EXABYTE ' Product ID: 'MAGNUM 224 ' Revision: 'C112' Attached Changer API: No SerialNumber: '000089000435' SCSI ID: 3 SCSI LUN: 1 Ready: yes I use a udev rule to create a /dev/autochanger1 device that will always point at the right device then use /dev/autochanger1 in bacula.
