Hi Mark,

I was the one who reported this a litle while ago. We still have not been able 
to delete this volume. I don't recall seeing any reply suggesting that this has 
anything to do with caching on on the storage pool. But I decided to try that 
anyway. I disabled caching, then flushed all of the disk volume to tape. It 
still didn't fix the problem.

If I do an AUDIT VOLUME FIX=YES, I get the message 'ANR2209W Volume 
/adsm/sp7/00 contains no data.'. But if I do a DELETE VOLUME (with or without 
DISCARD=YES), I get the message 'ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /adsm/sp7/00 
still contains data.'. Associated with that message I also get  ANR9999D 
dfqry.c(595): Missing row for bitfile 0.143665444.'.

Besides flushing the storage pool we've tried restarted ADSM and AIX all to no 
avail. We've opened a call with the IBM support centre but so far haven't had 
any response.
