problem with chg-disk and slot numbers greater 9

[ghosts]

Hi,

i hope i'm in the correct place her for this, i couldn't find any other place to send a patch ...

we have an problem with chg-disk and slot numbers greater 9
if we have 10 or more slots as virtual tapes, in our case 18, slot1 wouldn't be loaded.

The problem seems in the Amanda::Changer::disk.pm, in the _get_next function in the line:
# Otherwise, search through all slots
my @all_slots = $self->_all_slots();
my $prev = $all_slots[-1];
for $next_slot (@all_slots) {
return $next_slot if ($prev == $slot);
$prev = $next_slot;
}

after the function _all_slots deliveres an lexical sorted list of list, not numerical, the the number 18 would be before 2 and not 1

to fix this short we had patched the function _all_slots to give back an numerical sorted list, so the behavior would be right.

i add an patch against the 3.1.2 source code

Great. Please do post details about your configuration, storage device(s) used, observed performance etc. These details are very useful for other Amanda users.
