Oh, and if a tape is "recyclable" and is reused by networker, it does
the equivalent of the second one and automatically "relabels" the tape.
Also, I think the second will not prompt for confirmation only if the
volume is already recyclable. If you use it to force an early relabel,
then it will prompt like the first will (unless you also have -Y).
