I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted the robot contents file* and it refilled itself whenever it next read each tape. After that, the barcode reader cues it to which one is in which particular slot. *I deleted the file more than once, I think, when I was using the same file for two configs. It worked OK this way for a while, then got confused; then I deleted the contents file and it re-created. I later decided I should use two different files, even though the configs were sharing the same robot slots (not both run at the same time). Deb Baddorf Fermilab
