I've now seen several people report this.  I just want to restate, to make
sure that I understand what's being claimed.


If I have three copies of a file scattered across a stgpool, and some copies,
and I delete vol... a volume with _one_ of those copies, _all_ of the copies
all across my stgpools are deleted.  Is this correct?
