I haven't noticed any problem with this. I'm using 3.1-S, Amanda 2.4.1p1, and the Perl chg-chio script which the port installed into /usr/local/libexec/amanda/. I've got an Archive/Connor/Seagate Python 4xDDS2 changer. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
