If you removed media from the optical library and placed it back in the library and aren't sure if you put it in the right place, you can remedy this easily.
First, you need to have the library physically check each slot to see if media is there. Most optical libraries have the ability to do this from some menu. We also did a program called "initelem" that will cause a library to check each slot for media.
After running "initelem", you can then verify volume labels of media in each slot by running "inventory". "inventory" will load every piece of media into a drive and check to see if it is formatted and what its label is. Then "inventory" will update the media database (archive.media in MySQL) with the location and name of each piece of media.
Time wise, running a full "initelem" followed by "inventory" can take a while. An ASACA 750 slot library with three drives will take about 45 minutes to run "initelem" and then about 1 minute per loaded media per drive for "inventory", or 4 hours for 750 pieces of media.
