No, but it appears that ADSM allocates database space all from one volume,
before allocating space on the next volume.  I.e., it does not appear to use
a round-robin algorithm, which would have been nice as it would have spread
db I/O more evenly.

We are very happy with ours, which we have had for 4 months now with no
problems.  We had lots of problems with our 8mm drives.
