Compiling a new RHEL-4 kernel

[Magnus Andersen]

I have found that an inventory helps alot if tapes have been shifted
manually by staff before I run the status.

Try

mtx -f /dev/sg5 inventory

and then

mtx -f /dev/sg5 status

and I think it will work.

We only swap tapes on a weekly basis in our changer and I have a shell
script changing the tapes depending on the day.

HTH,
