Hi, 

The problem occured when I was trying to label some tapes using one of the 4 
tape drives ( IBM  LTO -3 ) in the library ( Dell ML6000).

I can see unlabeled volume loaded under tape drive in NMC but according to the 
tape library's web console all 4 drives are free.

I also checked the properties tab for the tape drive and found that volume has 
been unmounted already.

Error messages in the daemon.log

No idea what's going on here.
