Dears,

Running NSR72 on Wintel, I just discovered a thing I cannot
nor understand, nor explain and that makes me crazy :

Can someone explain me the reason why some recyclable volumes are
flagged "READONLY" (volflags = r) and Eligible (state=E)
vs other recycled volumes only Eligible (state=E) from mediadb?
What's logic behind ? No suspect savesets and I really doubt
the tapes to be manually software-forced read-only...

Test command I used :
mminfo -q volrecycle -r barcode,volume,pool,volflags,state

Any light to make my day a better one ? ;-)

Cheers,

Th

Kind regards - Bien cordialement - Vriendelijke groeten,
