I got a Quantum PX502 tape library (LTO2), and recently it started to behave 
erratically. We are using Networker 7.1.2 on hpux 11.

The two-tape-drive library used to load the tape in proper ascending numerical 
volume labelled tape (ie backup.001, then backup.002..)

But recently, it would skip to a larger number before mounting the smaller 
number (ie 001, 003, then 002, 004.. etc..)

Anyone had experienced this problem?

It is due to some timer-related issue (delay after tape eject), or simply a 
bug? What went wrong?

Thanks
