I've got an installation that has some automated procedures that use
the output of bpmedialist to schedule some tape moves.  One of them
relies on a volume appearing 'FULL'.  If I've got a frozen tape, I
don't want to keep using for new backups but I do want this process
to take it out of the jukebox.

Is there any way to change a volume to appear 'FULL' in bpmedialist
without actually writing to it?  bpimage can't do it and I didn't find
anything else that appeared appropriate.

Long term I'm sure I can change the logic to accomodate some differences
(like maybe understanding that FULL/SUSPEND should also come out), but
being able to handle these volumes before that happens would be nice.

Thanks.
