That's a great idea.

On a different note, I just attempted to do my first "amlabel"
operation, and this is what I got:

amanda@lpdlnx00 amanda $ amlabel LPD LPD000 slot 0
amlabel: could not load slot "0": could not read result from
"/usr/libexec/chg-scsi"

Ideas?  Google didn't seem to have any suggestions.
