Hello all

I'd just like a bit of clarification on an assumption.

I'm reclaiming a relatively small stgpool (20 ish LTO3 tapes) and hitting 
something odd.

I can have a volume that is 95+% reclaimable but when the reclaim process 
runs, it is reading data from a different tape (this is not an offsite 
pool).  Upon investigation, the virtually empty tape has the 2nd segment 
of a massive file on it - 1.6TB in size.  The 1st segment is on this other 
tape.

So I'm assuming that to reclaim a volume, if it has a file segment on it, 
the WHOLE file needs to be moved?  Is this a correct assumption?

Thanks
