I have always seen where if you run an nsrjb -I on your jukebox and you
had unlabeled tapes it would always mount and scan the bardcode. That is
the way it always worked. Nice to know there is a way to cheat it having
to mount the tapes. Very time consuming.

I've found that if I update the location of the tape(s) to be the
Library before doing the inventory, it simply scans the barcode and
skips mounting the tape to check the label... But if I do not update the
location first, it loads the tape to check the label, and then updates
the location to be the library...

When I run a nsrjb -i to inventory my library, where all tapes are
marked as <unlabeled>, it now loads every tape into a drive in order to
check the label! Previously, nsrjb -i assumed that if an unchecked tape
cartridge bar code did match a known volume name, the loading of the
volume was skipped, and the list automatically updated. This seems to
have changed through, which makes reinventoring large libraries
miserably slow..

Can anyone confirm this behaviour and/or provide a work-around, so
unnecessary loading of tapes can be avoided?
