When you delete the library, you also delete the library inventory. No big deal, you just need to checkin the tapes again, leave them as is in the library
- first checkin all the scratch tapes with search=yes and checklabel=barcode (optional, but faster)
- then checkin all the private tapes with search=yes and checklabel=barcode (optional, but faster)
Voilà, all done!

Hi
I accidentally checkin using status=private and alll cartage became 'Private'. Now how do fix it?

Oh boy.

I think (not 100% sure) that if you delete the library again, and redefine it, and then check them in again in the proper order, it should work.

I checked out all cartage using checklabel=no remove=no and checking in with order now. At the moment libvolume status is 'Scratch'.

I guess that "should" work too.
