Hi folks, we have recently installed StorageTek 9840 drives and each tape
has the capacity to hold 20GB native up to 80GB compressed.  We thought this
an ideal medium for ADSM storage.  I had set the device classes up to
accommodate 60GB (err on the catious side, 3:1 compression) with compression
set to yes.

We have tapes filling up at 19-21GB !!

Anyone experiencing this or could they give me any help on why this would be
the case?

Thank you in advance
