Right command causing changer to load next tape looks like: >> camcontrol stop -n sa -t 100 -v >> camcontrol cmd -n sa -t 100 -v -c "1B 00 00 00 00 00" > > 1B is just an unload request, so your autoloader is probably in "dumb" 1B 00 00 - is unload request. Purpose of three extra bytes (00 xx 00) is unknown for me but 00 xx 01 it loads tape number x. 00 00 00 load next tape.

A "mt rewoffl" should do the same thing as your camcontrol mt rewoffl cause changer to rewind current tape, then unload it. It doesn't load next tape. -- Dmitry Samersoff, dms@wplus.net, ICQ:3161705 http://devnull.wplus.net * There will come soft rains ...
