OK now I am really confused. sch0 WAS showing up as cd/dvd now it is
showing up as mediummx. This is after I added bareos to the sudo group.
dumb question. I am running bconsole as root. Is this an issue?
When I try and run bconsole as a generic user get the following: Config
error: Cannot open config file "/etc/bareos/bconsole.conf": Permission
denied
Going to add user to bearos group.

The TAPE group is OK, but not the complete story. For some reason
my setup has sch0 (the name given to my autochanger) as a cd/dvd. I
have added CRROM to by bareos user and i still does not work.
Looking into have to change sch0 from CDROM to TAPE.

It seems you are on the correct path but need to locate the HP
Autoloader device. Have you tried to run as root:
mtx -f /dev/sch0 status
It shall print the status of the Drive and all slots. If you are not
sure about the device name, then try all available devices that look
like Autoloader.
As far as I can recall, on Linux, I had to update the udev configuration
to specify the exact /dev/sg? name using the UUID of the device. If the
device is not customized in udev, then after a reboot, the device jumped
between /dev/sg{1,2,3}. If you are using `lsscsi -g` then the last
column would be the device name you need to try with mtx command.
Regarding the bconsole, I always run it as root, and the actual DIR
daemon is running as the bareos user. I do not think it is an issue.
Cheers,
Oleg
