A shell script that runs other changers in tandem, and returns a rait:{dev1,dev2,...} tape device based on the results of each other changer. So if you wanted to have 2 stackers striped with no parity, and you have chg-mtx support for your stackers, you would use the following changerfile:

  nchangers=3
  tpchanger_1="chg-mtx"
  changerdev_1="/dev/mtx1"
  changerfile_1="/some/file1"
  tapedev_1="/some/dev"
  tpchanger_2="chg-mtx"
  changerdev_2="/dev/mtx2"
  changerfile_2="/some/file2"
  tapedev_2="/some/dev"
  tpchanger_3="chg-null"
  changerdev_3="/dev/null"
  changerfile_3="/some/file3"
  tapedev_3="/some/dev"

The third uses chg-null. The tapedev_n entries are only needed if the changerfile in question uses them.
