Summary	0001017: New counter variable for volume labels
Description	Hi, actually when a variable is defined in the "label format" field for a Pool configuration, it is not possible to add a simple "counter" variable in the volume name. Using a timestamp is not very useful when you recycle purged volumes, as the filename will not be an indication of the "freshness" of the volume and cause mistakes in a disaster recovery when you are under pressure of your boss ;) Per example, the label format would be "vol-$Dir-$Pool-$Counter", where "$counter" is a unique number (or UUID) generated by the director: - vol-DirProd-PoolA-2546 - vol-DirProd-PoolA-2547 - vol-DirProd-PoolH-2548 - ... Regards, Nicolas
