Just a simple question...

Somehow my DLT tape got switched to write protected.  When ADSM tried to
write to the tape, it detected read/only, set the access to read/only in
the database, asked for a scratch tape and kept on going.

I manually set the access back to read/write, thinking that ADSM would
go back and use that tape, but it has since asked for yet another
scratch tape which leads me to believe that this volume is going to sit
forever with a small amount of data on it.  Also, I assume it will never
reclaim since the status never went to full.  When I query the volume,
it's only 32% full, and the status is still FILLING.

I know that I can do a move data - that's OK in this case, but these are
15Gb tapes.  What if this had happened when it was 70% full?  The move
data would take forever!  Does anyone know of another alternative?  Am I
missing something?
