hi adsmers,

is there anyone out the experienced the same thing: i just noticed that
sometimes adsm changes a filling tape to status full even tho' the tape
still got plennnnnnnty of room to put data in. to be more specific, before
i did a "move data dlt009" i had:



adsm> q vol dlt*

Volume Name                  Storage         Device         Estimated     %Util

                                                                 (MB)

it then moved data off dlt009 to dlt007. but now i have:



adsm> q vol dlt*

Volume Name                  Storage         Device         Estimated     %Util

     Empty
...



also, i don't seemed to be able to utilize the whole tape, the estimated
full capacity is 35G but it got marked full somewhere around 30G. my
devclass of dlt's definition is -format=drive.


thanks.
