Hello Ivan,
I was trying to point out that in general, to avoid spinning ones
wheels, one should not initially point at bugs in Bacula or bugs in mtx,
since most initial setup problems are a question of misunderstanding
(perhaps unclear documentation) and configuration issues. Certainly bugs
Hi Patti,
My server is running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (64bit), Bacula v7.4.7 and mtx tools
are at v1.3.12.
As I mentioned in my other post, in reply to Kern's response, I've managed to
fix the issue by installing full set of magazines into the changer's carousel.
This immediately caused mtx to pro

Ivan,
You’ve not indicated what OS that you are using – it’s somewhat difficult to
say whether your mtx package has a bug. I’ve never had this issue with mtx
running on RHEL6. I don’t see your I/E slot being identified as the I/E slot,
just a regular slot, which can be done if slots are tight
Hello,
I think this is what we politely call a "pilot error/misunderstanding".
From what you have described, mtx is behaving correctly. Normally I
turn off the mail slot (aka import/export slot) on my autochanger and
the problem goes away. It is my understanding that Bacula can be used

Hi,
After more testing done today, this looks like a mtx bug: issuing command "mtx
load 1 0" correctly loads tape from the changer slot 1 into the first tape
drive. However, "mtx status" then shows this tape drive as loaded with slot 45
instead (but also correctly lists slot 1 as empty):

Hi,
I have configured Bacula for our Qualstar TLS-8466 autochanger and everything
seems be working fine except for the weird errors in slot numbering. The
problem I suspect is with the extra I/O slot which this model has, in addition
to normal slots in the mounted magazines. Mtx command correct
