A meta volume is a container for many volumes. A meta label is the label of a meta volume. Use amlabel to create meta label.
A meta volume can be use if volumes are always loaded/unloaded at the same time such as Removable hard disk changers.
Changer chg-disk is the only changer that can handle meta volumes. The amanda.conf parameter meta-autolabel can only be used with chg-disk.
