These are tapes that go from library to rack, then rack to library, only.
I don't specifically change the location for them (although I do for
clones, using mmlocate, but that's a different pool, etc.). Their location
field goes blank when they come out of the library and their slots are
reinventoried with new contents, but that's done automatically by
Networker.
Hmmm... maybe before I load any recyclable tapes I should preset their
location to the library?
Thanks
