Hi,

I presume I cannot use the relabel command within the console to relable a

Never tried it.
So here's what I am thinking of doing:
1) delete the volume from the catalog via "delete volume=<vol> pool=<pool>"
command in the console
2) Do a:
mt rewind
mt weof
3) label the volume again with the "label" command
You could also first set the tapes status to used and then prune or
purge it. See update volume command.
I prefer this approach because I don't like deleting things from the
catalog without any chance of bacula deciding if it's ok. It's just too
easy to mistype a volume name or ID.
Sounds fair ? ( just waiting for the jobs to finish before I try this out )
Your idea should work, too.
(*) The volume got to the status of error because while backing up to the
volume, the directory exited for whatever reason when I did a "query" on the
console while a backup job was running. This left backup job incomplete on
the volume. So I tried to somehow let bacula think that the volume is empty
( except for the label ) by using the "update" command from within the
console to update the status, files in the volume ( to 0 ), etc ... so that
it was left in further inconsistent state.
prune or purge commands can do that, too.
