Thanks - I think this is going to help.  One other question - My server
support guy (he's taking over from someone else here) wanted me to ask why
you had decided to turn caching off.  He thinks caching seems to be a very
good idea and he didn't get a very clear answer from his predecessor as to
why she had turned it off.

Thanks for your input.

Just turning caching off doesn't clear the cached files from the diskpool.
You need to do one of a number of things.
1. Fill the diskpool to 100%.  this will cause the cached versions to be
released to make room for the new files.
2. Migrate down to 0, then do move data commands on all the
disk volumes.  This will free the cached images.

When I turned caching off, I did #2.
