The point is: if I locate volume V00035 as reclaimable, there are also two
other volumes that I need: There's a last aggreate on V00035 that is only half
on this volume, the other half is on V00036 (or something).  And the same
thing happened at the beginning: V00034 has the first half of the first
aggregate on V00035.  This means that for any single volume to be reclaimed, I
need as many as three volumes.

I bet Bill's right, though.  Piffle.
