SCSI changers are generally supported. I don't know if they mechanism supports the standard, but I've used these on systems without changer support. You can do this by putting it in a mode where it goes to the next tape on offline. I believe amanda can use them this way in gravity changer mode. On solaris there's a -o option to ufsdump which will cause the tape to advance after the dump by sending an offline. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
