What does the tapeutil inventory output show for the problem slot?

Hello Henrik,

I cannot see how this should solve the problem. If the library can't
read the tape's barcode (or can't store it in its database, whatever the
reason is), an 'audit library' command would tell TSM that the slot's
empty and tsm would not checkin the volume. But it would try to move
another volume into this slot, when checking them in from the
mailslot...

Maybe I just didn't get the point of your idea...

kind regards,
Stephan
