Once a media volume serial number has been reported to a host, changing
the Return Media Identifier setting may cause the host to not recognize
media within the library.

Automatic drive cleaning should be enabled for partitions only if the host
application does not support the coordination of drive cleaning. If drive
cleaning functionality is enabled on the host application, do not enable
automatic drive cleaning for any partitions in the library.
