Hi,
Thanks for responding.
I assume you are trying to use a standard SCSI library and not the ACSLS
managed one, right? - yes.
The rest of the answers are below, the mtx -f command fails so that
doesn't seem to be working, I hadn't tried that yet so have only just
seen it, also mtx-changer command doesn't exist.

Hi,
I have loaded new tapes with physical labels but Bacula can't
label them, I get the timeout error below but I've had them in the
past and Bacula has still labelled the tapes, I can't see that
there is anything wrong with the drives and it doesn't seem to be
taking that long but it fails every time. Any suggestions for what
I can do to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
I assume you are trying to use a standard SCSI library and not
the ACSLS managed one, right?
First of all check if your library is working with standard mtx
utility (i.e. mtx -f /dev/sg0 status). If not, solve it in the first
place as Bacula is using mtx to manage tape cartridges in your library.
Then check if a standard bacula mtx-changer script is working with the
command: listall (i.e. mtx-changer /dev/sg0 listall).
The `/dev/sg0` device in the examples above is the scsi generic device
for your changer. To check which device to use, check with lsscsi -g
command.
I hope this helps.
