Removing a volume with no name

Anyone knows how to remove a volume with no name. I've been banging my head for a while on this one. I know the volume exists cause I can do:

% mminfo -v -a -m -q 'volid=4294967295'

And I get the result. But I cannot delete that volid:

% nsrmm -d -v -V 4294967295
nsrmm: invalid volume id: 4294967295

Any ideas?
 
Get the volume name from the mminfo and try that in nsrmm -d -V volname
e.g. nsrmm -d -V TAP001
 
The volume has no name. Don't ask me why but it doesn't. Here's the mminfo output:

volume written (%) expires read mounts capacity volid next type
27 MB 100% undef 40 MB 0 0 KB 4294967295 0

Can I give it a name somehow and than delete it?
 
the best way to delete these is through the volume tab, on the gui.

It should be at the very top of the list. Cheers

It does not show up in the "Volumes" window in the GUI and I have no idea why.

I can clearly see it using mminfo and a query on the VolID.
 
Try an nsrim -X to see if this sorts it out.
 
and if that doesn't work, try scavenging your media database Cheers

The nsrim -X option didn't work.

So what's the best way to manually hack through the media db. Is that documented somewhere?
