About that oops I reported earlier... I tried loading
up one of the failed tapes to write the catalog on as
a test. After seeking to the end of data, the drive
went into this odd read loop that nothing could get it
out of. I think when I see those errors, I will never
use the mentioned volume again! :}
But now I've got two volume names who's associated
tapes are garbage. How do I free up the volume name so
I can relabel a tape with one of the prior labels?
Delete the Volume; erase it (mt -f [tapedevice] weof); relabel the tape;
re-add it to the Pool. It'll have a different media ID, but that's OK.
Phil,
I think you misunderstood Marcus...
Actually, I think you misunderstood my answer. :)
No, you misunderstood what...
stop.
I think your erase - relabel - re-add to pool is what doesn't help
Marcus much.
relabel will - according to the manual - work only with existing
volumes, and - according to my memory - it produces an error if you
relabel a blank volume.
Let's wait what Marcus does ;-)
