Might this be udev on Linux?

Maybe

Then you'd have to look into configuring udev in order for your symlink to be created automatically...

After "tapecycle" tapes have passed in the rotation, wouldn't the contents
of the tapes have been are overwritten anyway ? Considering this, I taught I
might as well relabel them when their time comes around.

Yes, after `tapecycle' tapes and `dumpcycle' days have passed. It just seems simpler to me to give different names to the new tapes, and either `no-reuse' the old tapes, or else amrmtape them when you don't need them anymore. (You can obviously label more than `tapecycle' tapes; amanda will happily use them and ask for them in order.
