I have a tape library that had 36 slots. I was using slots 1-28 for my daily
run.

When tapecycle was equal to 28 tapes, I got the following:

        zorn->[44] > amadmin daily tape
        The next Amanda run should go onto tape D00006 or a new tape.
                                   tape D00007 or a new tape.
                                   tape D00008 or a new tape.
                                   tape D00009 or a new tape.

I have decided to add two new tapes to slot 29 & 30. I changed tapecycle
from 28 tapes to 30 tapes. My runtapes is still equal to 4.

Now when I run now "amadmin daily tape" I get 

        host->[42] > amadmin daily tape
        The next Amanda run should go onto 4 new tapes.
        The next 2 new tapes already labeled are: D00030, D00029.

QUESTION: Is this going to require that I have 4 new tapes? Why do I not get
some of my older tapes listed when I changed to 30? 

Thanks
