Just trying to understand more about adv_file type devices. Suppose I have a 
pool of 4 adv_file devices. Server parallelism is 64, target sessions on each 
disk device is 8. If I understand target sessions correctly, this is how the 
data gets backed up:

Volume1 gets savesets 1-8 
Volume2 gets savesets 9-16
Volume3 gets savesets 17-24
Volume4 gets savesets 25-32
Volume1 gets savesets 33-40, etc

What would happen if savesets 1-8 fill up Volume1 and there's space remaining 
on Volumes 2-4? Would savesets 33-40 be backed up to Volume1 after data already 
residing on the volume is automatically staged (property of adv_file type)? Or 
will Networker see that Volume2 has free space and send 33-40 to that volume?
