Hi,

this is my media list for this catalog. I purged the tapes in the pools to test 
if this fix the problem, but it doesn't fix.
Why is my media list so important it's a mostly generic question?! The tapes 
with 64,512 Volbytes where labeled but have no data written on them.

list media
Pool: 5Weeks
No results to list.
Pool: 9Weeks
