In reference to my previous posting, I am moving my 3583 LTO libraries
from AIX ownership to Linux ownership (as well as the newest 5.4.1 server
level).

I just checked in some scratch tapes to the Linux system and the tapes
came up as 8-characters (090000L2 vs 090000).

Do I care ?  Is this going to cause any conflicts or other problems ?  Is
this going to require relabeling ? Can I set it back to 6-characters ?   I
read that LTO3 requires 8-chars but these are LTO2 only. No plans to buy
any more drives and we certainly wouldn't mix them if we did !
