Try the following: chio move slot 0 drive 0 (to load tape) chio move drive 0 slot 0 (to eject) I don't have it working with Amanda yet but I see /dev/ch* and /dev/nrst* /dev/rst*, etc. I am running 2.1.6.1 BTW. Tim PS: Please let me know if you get Amanda working. I've got the tpchanger script working but it generates quite a few warning messages (mostly st0 timeouts, etc.).
