Look at the mminfo help or man pages.

The fl (flags) field has an indicator of h (head), m (middle), and t
(tail), for a given saveset id.

Subject: [Networker] How to find a file that spans two tapes?

Is it possible to see which files in a browseable index span two or more

tapes?

For example, if I run a full backup of /disk2 to a pool with indexing 
enabled, and it takes, say, four tapes, then can I see which files
spanned two tapes? I'm trying to run a recover test for a file that
spans two of these tapes, but how can I find it?

I know I can run 'nsrinfo -t nsavetime client', but this doesn't tell me

which tapes the given files are on. Also, I can run 'nwrecover' and run 
'vers' against the files to determine which tapes they're on, but it's 
trial and error for each. Too many to run against.
