Provided I understood your question correctly, you just `umount` the current tape first, physically change the cartridge, label the new one, mount it and then the job continues all by itself. I'm not sure about labeling a new tape, but changing the tape when a job is blocked on a wrong tape is a routine operation on my site which has a single-tape LTO-4 device. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
