Hi all,

Thanks to Mecki and Richard Sims.  After the tape volume got reclaimed, the
estimate size of the tape is 12GB.  :-)

Hi ADSM gurus,

Why when I do a "q vol", the info (estimated capacity) is not correct?.  This
is the output.

Volume Name               Storage      Device      Estimated    Pct   Volume
                          Pool Name    Class Name   Capacity   Util   Status
                                                        (MB)
------------------------  -----------  ----------  ---------  -----  --------
TAPE1                     TAPEPOOL     4MMCLASS     44,908.0    1.9    Full
TAPE1                     TAPEPOOL     4MMCLASS     44,908.0    1.9    Full
TAPE2                     TAPEPOOL     4MMCLASS     41,809.3   59.9  Filling
TAPE3                     TAPEPOOL     4MMCLASS     55,896.1   24.0    Full
TAPE4                     TAPEPOOL     4MMCLASS     62,285.0   54.6  Filling
TAPE5                     TAPEPOOL2    4MMCLASS          0.0    0.0   Empty

What I don't understand is that, each of the volume should only have 12MB max
because it is an uncompressed 4mm DDS3 tape.
Anyhelp is appreciated.  :-)

Thank in advance.
