This may be an old question, but is there any way to force Networker to 
trust a barcode label and not actually load the tape to inventory it?

The reason I ask is that over the years of working with Networker, I've 
seen it do both. What I mean is, if I add an existing (known, proper pool, 
etc.) tape to a library and then run "nsrjb -j library_name -I -S 
slot_number" to inventory the tape, wometimes it's satisfied with what it 
reads from the barcode, but other times (more often) it actually loads it 
into a drive and checks it for sure. I've not seen any pattern and don't 
recall seeing anything in the documentation about why it does one over the 
other.

Is there a way to force Networker to just trust the barcode? When adding a 
number of tapes it would speed things up considerably if so.

Thanks.
