You have to create a config +file (/etc/autojuke.conf) for it first (or copy & edit the sample +file), see below for a description of the syntax. +.P +After starting autofs you should be able to change & mount media just +by accessing /jukebox/<slot-nr> or by accessing +/jukebox/<volume-tag>. Error messages show up in the syslog +(/var/log/messages). +.SH CONFIG FILE +Syntax is very simple: The config file has just some "variable = value" +lines. These are the variables: +.TP +.B try_umount=0|1 +It is possible to signal the automound daemon (with SIGUSR1) it should +umount idle devices. If you set this to 1, autojuke will try this if +there is no idle drive. You probably want to use either this feature +or a short timeout value for automount. +.TP +.B mopts=... +Specify mount options (fs type for example), autojuke passes them to +the automount daemon. Check out the automount manpage for details. +.TP +.B dev=special file +specifies the special file(s) (/dev/something) of the data transfer +elements. There must be exactly one line per data transfer element. +autojuke uses this to look for idle drives (using /etc/mtab) and to +tell automount which device it should mount. Order is important, the +first line should address "d0", etc... +.SH NOTES +Volume tags work only if the changer supports them. +Double-sided media is not supported (yet). +.P +For CD-ROM's it is faster and cheaper these days if you copy images to +a big hard disk and mount the images using the loop device. This also +allows easy parallel access to different CD's at the same time. +.SH AUTHOR +Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org> +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright (C) 2000 Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org> +.P +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. +.P +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
