Summary:                    MTX script fails in Dell PV124T
Description: 
Received at the Debian BTS from João Sousa <jts...@gm...> at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452136

Using the btape testing program, the testing of the autochanger Dell
PV124T 
with an LTO-3 drive failed. As far as I could tell, the mtx control script

was timing out and being killed with a signal 15.

Upon inspection of the bacula mtx script (/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer)
I 
found that the problem lies in the function wait_for_drive(). The loop in
the 
function checks to see when the drive is available by matching 'ONLINE' on

the output of mt -f /dev/nst0  status. 

In my system, ONLINE never appears in status, instead it lists the
following 
when the tape is available in the drive and hangs/errors otherwise.

# mt -f /dev/nst0 status
drive type = 114
drive status = 1140850688
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 0

removing the pipe to grep solved the problem and the tape and changer
passed 
the test. At this point I am still testing bacula, so I have no idea of
the 
impact of this change in aditional functionality.

Thank you very much
