/usr/local/sbin/chio-bareos is also installed which should replace mtx-changer on *BSD systems. However, the installed version is bugged and the list command is not working correctly and listall is not implemented. Upstream has a working chio-changer script from OpenBSD (https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/platforms/openbsd/chio-changer). I've tested this today on FreeBSD and it is working. I don't know what the default should be, mtx-changer or chio- {changer,bareos}, but since chio-changer does not require perl and is working i'll stick with this one. Having chio the default is fine, but I need the MTX support for our changer. Our Quantum Scalar i40 changer has import/export slots, which chio needs to access via the 'portal' slots, and Bareos decided to access this by adding them beyond the last slot number.
Would you still accept the MTX patch, and keep MTX as an option in the port?
For the curious, here is the "chio status -v" output from a nearly empty changer of ours:
picker 0: voltag: <:0>

And the MTX status:

So to export a tape, Bareos asks to move it to slot 25 (or the first open Import slot). Updating the chio script to do this is perhaps not a lot of work. But the MTX script does just work for me (other than those two trivial changes I have to apply each time I update bareos-server). So I've been happy setting the changer type to MTX and just going on.
I've opened Bug 225908 for chio-bareos/chio-changer. The output of listall looks like yours. I'm just a curious user. I installed Bareos this week and i'm a bit confused because of mtx-changer, chio-bareos and two chio-changer scripts in the Bareos github repo.

Created attachment 189663 [details] Patch to fix mtx-changer.in The MTX changer script that gets installed with bareos-server has two problems. First, the @MTX@ variable isn't defined so that doesn't get expanded. Second, it tries to use "perl" to invoke Perl, but its PATH doesn't include /usr/local/bin. The attached patch adds MTX to the Makefile and hard-codes the path to perl in mtx-changer.in.
