If not, what went wrong? ;) I don't think amtapetype even bothers looking for a label, it just assumes a scatch tape and merrily scribbles all over it to see how big it is. Normally you only run it on a new installation, or when you install a new type of drive. It would be nice if it did check for a label first and not happily clobber some of your data without warning, especially since one of Amanda's advertised features is that it doesn't overwrite active tapes.
