|In Debian if you need a consistent device for the changer across reboots you will need to setup some udev rules:

udevadm info -q all -a -n /dev/sch0 | grep -e vendor -e model

     ATTRS{model}=="FlexStor II     "
     ATTRS{vendor}=="BDT     "
     ...

udevadm info -q all -a -n /dev/sg8 | grep -e vendor -e model

     ATTRS{model}=="FlexStor II      "
     ATTRS{vendor}=="BDT     "
     ...

cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/80-tape-autochanger-devices.rules <<EOL
#scsi generic device name
SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", ATTRS{vendor}=="BDT     ", ATTRS{model}=="FlexStor II     ", SYMLINK+="changer0"
# block device name
# SUBSYSTEM=="block", DRIVERS=="mt", ATTRS{vendor}=="BDT     ", ATTRS{model}=="FlexStor II     ", SYMLINK+="changer0_block"
#
EOL

Beware of the attributes containing white space. There is no need for a changer block device for now. After reboot you should be able to use /dev/changer0 in your bacula-sd.conf autochanger setup and it will be consistent.

HTH, Udo
