You can also give a range of slots to label to the > command, IIRC. I'm not sure I understand you correctly here. I've tried, for example, "label slot=1 barcodes" and "label barcodes slot=1" but bconsole ignores the slot part and still wants to label all volumes in the magazine.

Yes, this much I figured out but it's a bit of a PITA to have to do that way so I was hoping for something a bit more automagical.... > > Arno This is the first time I've had a barcode reader on a unit that I was responsible for so maybe I'm operating under some misinformation but I seem to recall reading somewhere in the docs that the label from the barcode had to match the label given in bacula? It doesn't seem like such should need to be the case, as once labeled bacula should be able to associate barcode x with label y but that would depend on the db schema, wh/I've not examined in any depth. The bacula docs are extensive and I'm sure "it's all there" but important tidbits are sometimes spread out so if you could provide any pointers...;) -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD "Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room." - Sir Winston Churchill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
