2009-04-21 Thread (private) HKS
As alluded to in previous messages, I've rewritten much of mtx-changer for my own needs. The goal was to make Bacula (2.2.8) interact nicely with my autochanger (16 slot Dell Powervault 124T) and OS (OpenBSD 4.4). It would be able to load tapes with no regard for actual slot numbers.
