Written 
Volume Status
DefaultVolume-0001      4.66 GB         File    2008/05/02      2008/04/18      
Full
DefaultVolume-0002      4.66 GB         File    2008/05/17      2008/05/03      
Full
DefaultVolume-0003      4.66 GB         File    2008/05/03      2008/04/19      
Full
DefaultVolume-0004      1.86 GB         File    2008/05/17      2008/05/03      
Append
DefaultVolume-0005      4.66 GB         File    2008/05/10      2008/04/26      
Full
DefaultVolume-0006      4.66 GB         File    2008/05/10      2008/04/26      
Full
DefaultVolume-0007      4.66 GB         File    2008/05/17      2008/05/03      
Full

my question is:
why DefaultVolume-0001 and DefaultVolume-0003 was not used, even if they are
created before DefaultVolume-0001.
insted was used DefaultVolume-0002 (that became full), and then
DefaultVolume-0004 (that i'm using right now).

thanks,
Davide
