[Bacula-users] Correct bacula-sd-conf setup for Sony SDX-400V

I have a Sony SDX-400V which I think is an AIT-1 drive. I ran all the utils (I am using Fedora F9) I could find and I think I got it working (“/root/bacula/bin/btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/st0” runs a test correctly). I took a giant SWAG at how to setup the bacula-sd-conf. I have no idea if half the stuff is correct…can someone out there verify that this is correct?

Device {

Name = Sony_SDX-400V

Media Type = 8mmAIT-2 # (what is this supposed to be set to??)

#Archive Device = /dev/nst0

Archive Device = /dev/st0

AutomaticMount = yes

AlwaysOpen = yes

RemovableMedia = yes

RandomAccess = no;

Drive Index = 1

# as recommended by btape

# Hardware End of Medium = yes

BSF at EOM = no

# Autochanger = Yes

# Changer Device = /dev/changer

# Changer Command = "/home/bacula/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a 1"

LabelMedia = yes

}

Here is the output from the different system utilities:

# ./sonytape /dev/st0 -t
