I'm not so lazy as you belive ;-)) I tried all above before going
to camcontrol.
mt can rewind, erase end so on current tape, but can't change
current slot number.
chio report error for every comand except "chio status" .
I find now (after lots of experiments) that sending raw SCSI command
helps me.
Right command causing changer to load next tape looks like:
camcontrol stop -n sa -t 100 -v
camcontrol cmd -n sa -t 100 -v -c "1B 00 00 00 00 00"
