I have a volume that I am recycling back into the pool before the volume expiration date. How do I simply wipe this tape or start the write position to the beginning of the tape to overwrite the old data?

When I've to force recycling a tape, for first I delete it from the db (delete volume=yadayada...), then I umount the tape and out of bconsole I do: # mt -f /dev/nst0 weof Once the tape was erased, I re-login into bconsole and relabel the tape with the oldname (yadayada...).

Not very elegant, but functional.
