Summary0000258: mtx-changer scripts not installed
DescriptionThe config files suggest "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/mtx-changer" for LTO Drives with autochnager as path for "mtx-changer" command, but none of the normal included packages includes this file.

So either the script should be included (as bacula does) or the config file should suggest the mtx command from package mtx and hint to that.

But this way sucks, as it leads into confusion, as one asks oneself if there was an installation mistake.
Steps To ReproduceInstall bareos on Ubuntu 12.4 LTS via apt-get (incuding bareos apt-Packages) as suggested by bareos doc.
TagsNo tags attached.

Try installing bareos-storage-tape The mtx stuff is for tape and by default
that is no longer installed by default as most people use disk only setups.

I'm quite sure its documented somewhere that you need this extra package when
you want to use tape (the package also pulls in the right packages like
mtx and mt-st or whatever its called on some platforms.) This way you don't
pollute peoples system with tape support when they have no need for it.

 You are right. sorry, my fault.
Maybe this could find a way into the doc, or better into the bareos-sd.conf examples as one naturally starts here, while the knowledge about bareos still has to grow ... :-)

AND:
Thanks!

We need to check, if and where to document it.
