I have an interesting situation.

I have a tape that five years ago was in a jukebox with a barcode reader. We've since replaced that jukebox and no longer have the ability to read the barcode. I recently had to run "scanner -m" on the tape and now have a media database that has the contents of the tape, but has forgotten what the barcode of the tape is (here barcode should be thought of as the human readable label on the outside of the tape). Sadly, the barcode is different from the internal volume label.

Is there a way to update the media database with the barcode on this volume? I've read the scanner and nsrmm man pages several times and done various google searches without success.

Thanks,
