30 provides a way to check that a particular
32 device is accessible, whether or not it contains a volume, and whether or not that volume is labeled\&. Some devices can\'t distinguish between all of these cases; a missing volume and an unlabeled volume might generate the same error code, for example\&. In those cases, this tool reports all possible causes of the error\&.

60 See the "\fBCONFIGURATION OVERRIDE\fR" section in
64 \fBAmdevcheck\fR returns one or more of the following lines\&. If multiple lines appear, then at least one, but not necessarily all of
65 the messages apply\&. This situation can occur when working with hardware or
66 operating systems which cannot distinguish, for example, between a
67 malfunctioning drive and a functional but unloaded drive\&.
76 A device error has occurred\&.
86 No tape is loaded in the drive\&.

91 The tape in the drive is unlabeled\&.
96 A volume error has occurred\&.
