Mtx(1) is a set of low level driver programs to control features of SCSI
|
|
|
|
|
backup related devices such as autoloaders, tape changers, mediajukeboxes,
|
|
|
|
|
and tape drives. It can also report much data, including serial numbers,
|
|
|
|
|
maximum block sizes, and TapeAlert(tm) messages that most modern tape
|
|
|
|
|
drives implement, as well as do raw SCSI READ and WRITE commands to
|
|
|
|
|
tape drives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It works like chio(1) but supports more features and drives and runs in
|
|
|
|
|
users land. There are some amanda (misc/amanda24-server) scripts, which
|
|
|
|
|
depend on mtx.
