In regard to: Re: [Networker] Identify writeable volume., Darren Dunham...:
this work perfect.
Also on side note, some of volumes after labelling are labeled manual and some
are not.
How can I force one or the other.
Hmm. I'm not sure why they would be 'manual' after relabeling.
Perhaps they're retaining the old setting?
We've seen that annoyance for a long time, and I'm pretty sure it's what
LGTpa26530 (from the 6.1.4 UNIX fixed bugs list PDF) is talking about.
What's the label process? Is it automatic or manual? If manual, how
are you doing it? The label process can specify manual or automatic
recyclability (but most just leave the default of automatic).
For us it's pretty reproduceable:
- fire up the X `networker' GUI.
- click the "Label" button
- in the "Jukebox Labeling" dialog, fill in an appropriate slot range,
pick a pool, and make sure the "Manual Recycle" button is checked.
- label that volume.
- cancel (so the dialog closes)
- go back in to the dialog, *uncheck* the "Manual Recycle" button (it's
probably still checked when the dialog comes up). Label another volume.
This one will also show up as "manual" after it's labelled.
- cancel (so the dialog closes)
- go back in to the dialog. The "Manual Recycle" button should be
*unchecked* at this point, when the dialog comes up). Label another
volume. Still "manual".
Occassionally if I check and uncheck the "Manual Recycle" checkbox I've
been able to get it to not be stuck in "manual" mode, but for the most
part I just use nsrmm to make it "notmanual".
