You may be the first to try it.
Is there anything you can see different in the index dirs,
or curinfo, or ???
What I'm wondering eventually is whether the "virtual" tape
can be removed without the real tape losing its index. I guess
not as you found they must be the same tape label.
Did you have to do an amlabel for one, then an amlabel -f for
the second? What does that do to the tapelist?
