I noticed that about reclamations. It's a double whammy because it now stops
reclamation when you set it back to 100% so if you don't have a big enough
reclamation window you end up with alot of tapes at 80-90% reclamation.

I notice that there are 5.4.1.2 server versions on the ftp site this
morning, but nothing in the README that points to the problems that have
been fixed. Is this just a repackaging of 5.4.1.1 in light of the security
announcement earlier this week?

Also, as I moved from 5.4.0.x to 5.4.1.x on my AIX servers, I've noticed
that the 'pick order' for reclamations has changed. It used to be that the
volumes with the most amount of available space were reclaimed first; with
5.4.1.x
(5.4.1.1 at least), it's using the recl=xx setting and working its way
'backwards'.

As an example, if I have three volumes with the following amounts of
reclaimable space:

VOL000 99.9
VOL001 98.3
VOL002 95.7

Under 5.4.0.x, a rec=95 would start processing VOL000 first and then proceed
to VOL001 and then VOL002. Under 5.4.1.x, issuing the same rec=95, the
server starts processing in the reverse order, starting with VOL002.

Is this 'fixing' something?
