OK, I've fixed this particular problem by creating multiple Media Types.
This was written in the documentation, but not about this particular
subject, about multiple concurrent accesses instead.

Now what about my other question (probably an easy one, I suppose I'll
have the answer anyway in a month or two...)

Could someone tell me what happens then ?

Does it automatically label the next volume as, for example,
"full-10000", or does it start over at "full-0001" and overwrite an
existing volume, or does it fail miserably because "full-0001" should
not be overwritten (if it's still full, as it will probably be) ?

Thanks.
