To relabel an already labelled tape, you can use the relabel command. But I think that is not what you want. You want to erase what is on the tape, and start again. You can "erase" the tape by doing this: mt -f /dev/YOURTAPEDEVICE rewind mt -f /dev/YOURTAPEDEVICE weof mt -f /dev/YOURTAPEDEVICE rewind Do this for each tape. Then use the run labels command. NOTE: the Catalog MAY contain the Volumes related to the labels on the tapes (e.g. TestVolume1). If so, you can remove those Volumes from the database with the 'delete volume' command. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ Available for hire: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
