Amanda may be worth a look. It should support jukeboxes, though my "library" is virtual (file based) tapes but I also use it with LTOs with a non-changing LTO tape drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Leonhardt" <frank2@fjl.co.uk> To: "freebsd-questions" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2021 2:26:09 AM Subject: Re: LTO tape and StorageWorks PowerVault auto-changers On 03/02/2021 21:47, Frank Leonhardt wrote: > Before I re-invent something that exists but I simply don't know about > it, is anyone else using LTO tape on FreeBSD, especially with HP > StorageWorks or Dell PowerVault juke boxes? I asked the same on FreeBSD Forums, and a kind person called "Jose" pointed this out: "It looks like the way to manage medium changers in Freebsd is thechio(1) <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=chio&sektion=1&manpath=freebsd-release-ports>command. I also know that there's at least one person that successfully uses Bacula with a medium changer in Freebsd Adding a tape library to Bacula – Dan Langille's Other Diary" <https://dan.langille.org/2013/11/26/adding-a-tape-library-to-bacula/>; chio is the think I was looking for, but it's not mentioned in the documentation and you can't find it unless you know what you're looking for - it's not even in the "See Also" section for mt. I'm now pushing on with some new documentation for the modern world of tapes.
