I always wanted to have a short form name displayed. With the rd=... you
see very little of what is going on. We do make it slightly better for our
operators by using symbolic link names for the drives. eg DLT4000L2D1 is
the first drive in our second DLT4000 library. /dev/nrmt10h means less than
diddly squat to operators - where is that physically!

I would even take the idea a step further,
I should be possible to display the comment field, or an additional alias
field, in the administration gui instead of the name of the tape drives.
That way we could get a much "quieter" view of the devices.

I agree; having a comment attribute in every resource is definately a
great step forwards.
However, I don't think that it goes far enough. Being able to attach a
comment to every attribute would be more useful still. That way you
could do things like document why a particular setting is not as dumb
as it first looks, or maintain a modification history for the
attribute.
