Hi Kelly,
The folks working in that area tell me that 8 character labels are
supported w/ LTO. Label libvol doesn't work with RSM though so it's not
clear if you're still talking about a Windows environment. It's suggested
that you open up a problem report if you're still not able to get things
working.
