It does not. It gets that from the database. In old versions it took
the count of the current tapes in the pool and used that as the
number. This has a flaw if any tapes are deleted it will try to number
the tape the same as a previous tape. The new system increments the
highest volume id throught the whole system and that is the next tape
number.
