hi, the storage element descriptor has an access parameter value which most storage vendors[0] and also mhvtl[1] do implement: > Indicates that the medium transport element cannot access the > media at the storage location [..] TGT's smc unfortunately does not handle at all and only sets information wether if slot is filled or not. I have seen that commercial products care about the access flag in some way and if missing, will show an empty slot, even if filled. Attached patch sets access bit if slot is filled.
