What happens if you eject and then forget to switch tapes? Like in:

 amdump && amverify ; mt -f /dev/rmt/1n offline

I think amverify prompts for a tape and then just sits there. This might
affect the following amdump in a bad way. Processes already running and
such.

What happens if you DON'T eject and then forget to switch tapes?

Will amverify find the wrong label and then exit with a failure?
