I recently had a problem that made me want to erase and relabel a bacula tape, 
keeping its same name so it would stay in the same spot in the tape rotation 
scheme. 
  I recycled and purged the volume in the catalog, then deleted the volume, 
erased 
the tape using the tape drive tools, then used bconsole to label it again with 
the 
old name.

Is there a way to label a tape that is already in the catalog?  It looks to me 
like 
the relabel command is intended to write labels on tapes that already have 
bacula 
labels, which in my case it did not (I erased it).

I can see this coming up also when I decide a tape is too old and should be 
replaced. 
  I'll need to substitute a blank tape and label it with a name that already 
exists.

Thanks,
Mark
