Re: [ADSM-L] Does Move Data recover space on virtual volumes?

"They are reclaimed the same as physical volumes. Just like physical volumes,
they need to be 100% empty before they return space and can be reused.
The reclamation process will move the data off eligible volumes (volumes under
the reclamation threshhold) in order to make them 100% empty."
---------
Not exactly. One can reclaim physical cartridges before they are 100% empty.
Space occupied by a virtual volume on a cartridge in the the target pool is not
returned until all files in the virtual volume have been expired. Level II
Support affirmed this a few months ago, and Level I just re-affirmed it.
Best wishes,
Keith
