I have cut my configuration file and now, I have only :
# An autochanger device with eigth drives
#
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg1
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = DLT-124T
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
# Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
I have set a label for each tape and now, it seems running like a charm :-)
thanks,
