But how can I choose which?? Amanda handles the autoloader
automatically, I have no control on what tape goes next.
Maybe amanda will use amanda CONF slot next to go to the next slot,
until it satisfies the logical condition ISR005 OR new_tape. But I
don't know. That's what I'd like to know exactly.

Yeah, that command works for me. However, I'm not sure what happens
when I powercycle the system. I'm not 100% sure the tape will always
write in non-compression mode, once all labels were written with no
compression.
Cheers,
