Here's a followup to myself. Apparently, I have two tapes called
"catalyst_BW1" and have no idea how I could have gotten into this
situation. One of them is a brandy new tape:
Volume Label:
Id : Bacula 1.0 immortal
VerNo : 11
VolName : catalyst_BW1
PrevVolName :
VolFile : 0
LabelType : PRE_LABEL
LabelSize : 168
PoolName : catalyst_FULL
MediaType : DDS-4
PoolType : Backup
HostName : helios
Date label written: 31-Oct-2006 08:51
...one of them has been around for awhile, supposedly was not touched,
is empty (this is probably OK), but for some reason does not have the
right volume name anymore:
Volume Label:
Id : Bacula 1.0 immortal
VerNo : 11
VolName : catalyst_BW1
PrevVolName :
VolFile : 0
LabelType : VOL_LABEL
LabelSize : 168
PoolName : catalyst_FULL
MediaType : DDS-4
PoolType : Backup
HostName : helios
Date label written: 31-Oct-2006 08:51
I can't tell which media ID's these two tapes think they have. Is there
any way with any of the commands that work directly on the tapes (ie.
NOT the catalog) to check? It doesn't look like bls is interested in
telling me.
