Sorry,
I should have caught this before: ADSM's math is really bad at decimals. You
can see this if you back-up small files and I think you are seeing it now. Just
do a move data on those tapes but do report it as a bug since ADSM should have
handled this properly.
You can also see this in other tape operations like when you set the low
migration threshold on a disk pool to zero: ADSM can get to just below 1% and
stop migration since it now sees 0%.
