changer
Packit Service 392537
  We have many changers implementing the new changer API. The new changers are
Packit Service 392537
  faster, more reliable, and have many new features.  One new features is that
Packit Service 392537
  the changer keeps track of which label is in which slot, allowing it to
Packit Service 392537
  locate a tape faster. But with some changers (new chg-multi or chg-robot
Packit Service 392537
  without a barcode), it doesn't get automaticaly notified if you change the
Packit Service 392537
  volume in a slot. In this case, you must notify the changer of it with the
Packit Service 392537
  'amtape <conf> update' command:
Packit Service 392537
    amtape DailySet1 update 3-8
Packit Service 392537
    amtape DailySet1 update 3-8=

   - amgtar use by default the gtar --atime-preserve=system option, you must
Packit Service 392537
     disable it if you gtar relase doesn't have that option.
Packit Service 392537
   - Can be configured to cross filesystem.
Packit Service 392537
