Hi,

I don't think this is the source of your I/O error (but maybe it is),
but my understanding of the COMMIT command as you coded it here, is that
the LABEL LIBV should not start until the AUDIT LIBRARY is finished and
the results committed to the ADSM DB.

Your Acttivity Log output shows both AUDIT and LABEL starting at the
same time in the background.  (see below)

Is this a possible bug, or am I misunderstanding how COMMIT works?

If I'm wrong, I guess one would have to start each command in a separate
invocation of dsmadmc, and control the single-threading at the OS
level...

My actions are:
Running a macro with the following entries:
/* Audit the library for removed cartridges */
audit library maglib checkl=barcode
commit
/* Label the cartridges */
label libv maglib labelsource=barcode checkin=scr overwrite=no
search=yes
commit

The output in the ADSM server ACTLOG is:
