AFAIK it is not possible to use wildcards to match volume names. > The tape was previously used in an autochanger which used the bar code > labels on the tape for volume labels, but this drive is apparently not > seeing those. You must be able to see the volume name with the "mtx -f /dev/xxx status" command. If you can't see the volume label, likely your tape was erased, written by another software or you have a media/drive problem. > Is there any other way to tell or force bextract to just work on > whatever volume is currently loaded? -p has no effect That is not the -p function.
