[Jeffrey Di D. <jdi...@in...>]

Hi,

Yeah see the below output from lsscsi

lsscsi -g

[8:0:0:0]    tape    HP       Ultrium 5-SCSI   Y6PW  /dev/st1   /dev/sg40
[9:0:0:0]    tape    HP       Ultrium 5-SCSI   Y6PW  /dev/st0 /dev/sg38
[9:0:0:1]    mediumx HP       MSL G3 Series    9.40  /dev/sch0 /dev/sg39

If i do use st0 and st1


[root@union bacula]# ./mtx-changer /dev/st1 listall
cannot open SCSI device '/dev/st1' - No medium found
[root@union bacula]# ./mtx-changer /dev/st0 listall

mtx: Request Sense: Error Code=70 (Current)
mtx: Request Sense: Sense Key=Illegal Request
