mminfo is great at finding sets.  I don't think it finds a single item
so well.  Best to just sort the results and pick the one off the top or
bottom.

"oldest"?  I can think of several different meanings that phrase could
have..

* Volume with the oldest label date
mminfo -o t -q 'pool=<pool>' -r 'volume,labeled'

* Volume with the oldest saveset
mminfo -o t -q 'pool=<pool> -r 'volume,savetime'

* Volume whose last write was the longest ago
mminfo -o t -q 'pool=<pool> -r 'volume,volaccess'


Check out all the attributes in 'mminfo' for the different items you can
query and print...
