Hi all,
I'm having difficulty setting up my Quantum ATL Power L200 for use of
amanda. The library seems to b working fine under manual operation. I
can execute any of the amanda commands _once_, however, the next one
will simply take forever and not complete. For example, I can label the
tape in slot 0 successfully. When trying to label the next tape, it
just sits there.
This behaviour showed up when I was using
eject 0
in my changer.conf. Changing this to "eject 1" leads to the following
error:
amtape: slot <error> not ejected: could not read result from
"/usr/pkg/libexec/chg-scsi"
/usr/pkg/libexec/chg-scsi -info
No device found for tape eject
Running a ktrace on chg-scsi revelas the following:

Are there any people out there that experienced the same behaviour (and
hopefully solved it)?
Thanks in advance for all pointers.
