Is there an easy way (cmdline) to find which tape is in the drive
for a stand alone tape drive? My goal is to write a quick script
to expire the images on that tape using bpexpdate -ev, but I need
to know which one is in there. We have 3 weeks of tapes for this
test lab environment (one per day), retention set to 3 weeks,
so the images on the tapes would be expiring about 8 hours after
the run starts for the night. Not my design -- they just asked me
to fix it.
