        I run TSM 4.2 on Solaris 8.  I was in the process of converting all of 
the diskpool volumes from OS mounted files to raw partitions to fix some 
performance issues we have been experiencing with backups when I hit a little 
problem.  I disabled sessions and allowed migration to run to completion.  All 
volumes in the diskpool were listed at 0% util.  I was able to delete all 
volumes except 1, it claimed there was still data in it.  Still showed 0% for 
the volume doing a q vol, but I ran an audit on the volume, it said that there 
was no data in it.  I restarted the server, still claimed there was data in 
there.  I tried "del vol /tsmdata1/data1 discardd=yes", no effect, guess that 
option does not work for devices of type DISK?  
        Now comes the point where I did something I probably shouldn't have.  I 
stopped TSM again, deleted the file at the OS level, unmounted the partition, 
restarted TSM, and defined this last volume using the raw partition (others I 
had already done).  This all worked fine, but I still have this dangling volume 
that it of course can't mount so it's offline.Still getting "ANS8001I Return 
code 13" when I try to delete the volume.  Log says:

10/22/03   20:26:51      ANR2406E DELETE VOLUME: Volume /tsmdata4/data1 still
                                  contains data.

Any suggestions on how I can nuke this volume once and for all.  I realize I 
might have lost a few files if this volume did in fact contain some data, but I 
am not that concerned abou that right now.  Thanks!
