>Organization:

>Environment:

Most versions of FreeBSD.

>Description:

chio(1) provides no mechanism to select media by "voltag."
chio(1) provides no mechanism to return a media unit to its source.

>How-To-Repeat:

N/A - new feature request.

>Fix:

 o A pseudo-element type selector "voltag" that can be used to select
   source elements:

      chio move voltag VOLUME-03 drive 0

      chio exchange voltag VOLUME-03 voltag VOLUME-04

 o A new sub-command "unload" that returns a media unit to the source
   element reported by 'chio status -a':

      chio unload drive 0
      chio unload voltag VOLUME-03

A patch relative to 4.1-STABLE (should work on 5.0-CURRENT as well) is
