Hi.

Upgrading the OS from an quite old kernel to a newer (2.6.24) changed the behavior of the "ch" driver. Now it does a inventory to the changer on load. This command makes the barcode-reader scan the entire library at driver load time.

This process takes around 7.5 minutes in my installations.

Have I misconfigured something or has the default behavior of this driver changed? (can I get the old one back)

Earlier the driver-load just took less than a few seconds for both st and ch.

Hi.

Do I take it from this that your old kernel simply didn't auto load the ch driver? or that something has changed in the way the driver now works?

I'm afraid ch.c is a bit of an orphan so tracking down the issue, particularly if it's buried way back might take a while (on the brighter side, there haven't been so many commits to the driver, so they can be tested one by one).

It sure did load the driver and it worked just fine. It just didnt make the library unit force scan the barcodes. (the library do that on bootup by itself, but it can be forced with mtx over the changer device).

mtx -f /dev/changer inventory => Force scans barcodes
mtx -f /dev/changer status => Reads out the barcodes labels and slots from the changer device without forcing the library to scan. (note I dont know if it is library specific).

OK, so it's not the autoloading code which I thought it might be.

Which is the latest version of the kernel that works? ... that will at least give me the set of changes to look at.

I cant give you that, since I havent testet all, but I'm quite sure 2.6.20 worked, completely sure that 2.6.15 was Ok.

I know this is a large timespan, sorry.

It would be enormously helpful if you could boot 2.6.20 and confirm. There are 3 changes to ch between 2.6.20 and 2.6.24. There are 8 between 2.6.15 and 2.6.24.

I'll get it done and report but, but we're a bit behind on the backup-schedules. So when the system has catched up I'll do some testing.

On 2.6.26.1 I also get quite strange behavior .. sometimes the changer id discovered as a "sgX" device and sometimes it is discovered as a "schX".. the schX doesnt work:

When it works.. I dont have any device put onto the mediumx-thing in this list. And none of the sgX devices actually works. Rebooting the system "might" bring it correcly up.

It troubled med to get back to "that old" a kernel. I have a fresh dmesg
here from a 2.6.26.1 kernel. New stuff is that I get the 120 seconds

I also get:

jk@bacula:~$ dmesg | grep bus_type

Should I be worried about that?
