A method and apparatus for handling multi-volume datasets in a tape storage system are disclosed. In response to a write request for a multi-volume dataset, the information of the multi-volume dataset are captured by intercepting and deciphering a set of volume mount commands. Otherwise, the information of the multi-volume dataset are captured by snooping header information from a previous volume listed in a header of the multi-volume dataset. A chain of logical volume names that belongs to the multi-volume dataset is then built. Finally, the chain of logical volume names is then stored in a chain database.
