3The changer device is additional to the the :config:option:`sd/device/ArchiveDevice`\ . This is because most autochangers are controlled through a different device than is used for reading and writing the tapes. For example, on Linux, one normally uses the generic SCSI interface for controlling the autochanger, but the standard SCSI interface for reading and writing the tapes.

5On Linux, for the :config:option:`sd/device/ArchiveDevice = /dev/nst0`\ , you would typically have :config:option:`sd/device/ChangerDevice = /dev/sg0`\ .

7On FreeBSD systems, the changer device will typically be on :file:`/dev/pass0` through :file:`/dev/passN`.
8
9On Solaris, the changer device will typically be some file under :file:`/dev/rdsk`.
