multiple questions: amlabel, solaris device for tape drive etc.

Hi,
I'm quite new to amanda (and to backing up to tape as well). I already
managed to create a conf for our changer (Sun SL24). But I'm still
unsure what is the right device for the tape drive.
# ls /dev/rmt/
0 0b 0bn 0c 0cb 0cbn 0cn 0h 0hb 0hbn 0hn 0l
0lb 0lbn 0ln 0m 0mb 0mbn 0mn 0n 0u 0ub 0ubn 0un
So far I'm using /dev/rmt/0ubn AFAIK the u stands for Ultra-density, the
n for non-rewinding (Amanda needs that, right?) But I'm unsure about the
b. What does it mean? I managed to read and write to this device with
tar. Also amtapetype gave me some sensible values for this. (actually I
used the rewinding device at that time, but the non-rewinding shouldn't
differ)
I now also managed to label a tape using amlabel. Now my question is:
How do I label all tapes in the changer? Do I use some kind of pattern
or can I label them as I like?
Is there a command to label all tapes at once?
regards, Andreas
