I am just wondering if there was a real use for the barcodes, i.e. setting
up amanda so that during an amcheck run it doesn't have to load and read the
amlabels of tapes, maybe it can just read the barcodes and trust them?
amcheck isn't really in the business of "trusting" things, so I'm not
sure I'd like that. Amanda does use the barcodes to load a tape
directly, rather than cycling through the changer until it finds the
desired tape.
hmm. I haven't noticed that behavior. Is there some trick to making it work?
I've had no particular problem, but Amanda does seem to cycle through on
my system. It does keep the barcodes listed in changer-barcodes. Maybe
my library doesn't have that quick access feature? On the other hand, I
always keep the tapes in order, so the issue rarely comes up.
