Does q content also show them as empty?
Even if they have overflow on them, the move data should work unless the
original file is no longer available in your primary pool. You might have to
return the tapes and run an audit vol. on them.

I found that my offsite copy pool has lots of tapes in it that are 'full' or
'filling', but 0 percent full.

I do a move data on these tapes, and some say they cannot be moved, but they
are not empty (and not moving to the pending state).

My understanding is these tapes may have the overflow of a large file that
has the first portion on another tape.  Ifs so, how can I find out what the
other tape is?

As always, awed as to the knowledge of this list,
