optimize naming of mountpoint about ltopers HOT 9 CLOSED

We do work internally with the tape ID which for us is the same than the barcode, and for some of our clients the same than the six first chars of the barcode.

We have some setups with LTO-5 Tandberg decks running http://www.tandbergdata.com/default/assets/File/Downloads/ltfs300/LTFS_3.0.0_Mac_OEM.zip and with this version of the utility there appears to be no means to query the barcode/tape_id which is why we fall back to the deck serial.

Thank you! I’ll check tomorrow or on Friday this – and how we do it. We have a Tandberg LTO-5 deck.

OK, I'd be curious what utility source you use with it and if ltfs -o devname=0 on it gives you back a tape id.

The utility is derived from HP’s. It works for all decks we have in production (except Tandberg’s 24-slot which crashes when mixing up LTO-4 cartridges with LTO-5 and/or LTO-6, i.e. LTFS with pre-LTFS proprietary solutions).

Do you still have this issue, @dericed?

The Virtual Extended Attributes may possibly be of interest.

closing as ltfs -o device_list and mountlto -n now list device serials.
