Hmm.  Why would ADSM start a 2nd tape (during a normal stgpool
migration) when the (first) tape it's been writing to is still
present and enabled?  In the following log, we first write to D0012 a
couple of times, then dismount it, and then _remount_ it (in the other
drive), but also mount a new scratch volume (D0013) and decide to write to
that.

Is there some parameter I should be setting?  I'd expected everything to
write on one tape (only 17GB of data, and we've got 35GB DLT tapes).  D0012
is now 41% full, still R/W access, and in the "filling" state.

Thanks.
