MTX
|
|
|
|
Programs:
|
|
mtx is the media changer control program
|
|
tapeinfo dumps some interesting stuff out of tape drives' mode pages and
|
|
sense pages.
|
|
loaderinfo dumps some interesting stuff out of loaders' mode pages and
|
|
sense pages.
|
|
scsitape sends raw SCSI commands to tape drives. Do not use this unless
|
|
you know exactly what you're doing, because you can easily get into a feud
|
|
with the system's own tape driver and end up locking up the whole system.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
WARNING: MUST HAVE GNU 'make' TO DO THIS! (e.g. use 'gmake' on freebsd, not
|
|
BSD 'make'!).
|
|
|
|
Type ./configure to create a Makefile. Type 'make', then 'make
|
|
install'. Type 'man mtx' for info about mtx, and 'man tapeinfo' for
|
|
info about tapeinfo. Enjoy.

Porter for RPM's, William D. Smith for the HP/UX port, Kai Makisara
|
|
for the barcode backoff fix, and to all the other people out there who
|
|
have used it, found problems with it, and let me know about it (you
|
|
know who you are).
