Hello,

Forgive me if this is obvious and has been asked before, but is %used
the correct attribute to look at for "tape utilization" ?  I am new to
Networker, (7.2.2), and I am wondering if a "full" LTO-3 volume really
has 400GB/800GB compressed on it.  I attended a presentation from
Curtis Preston that said high 90% is an excellent utilization rate,
with some real-world hovering around 40-60% (I think) so I doubt all
of our volumes are being utilized 100%.

Thanks,
Eugene Vilensky
