I have a disk pool that has maxsize set to 5gb. The following stats relate
to data migrated from that tape pool to the offsite pool. I took a few
snapshots to see what size files are being sent to the tape pool that should
have gone to disk. As you can see there seem to be files that were sent to
the tape pool to the offsite pool that are under that size.

Disk pool stats this morning show there is data out there.

/adsmstg03/diskvol.03     NOTES_DPOOL  DISK         31,500.0   55.3  On-Line

/adsmstg04/diskvol.04     NOTES_DPOOL  DISK         31,500.0   60.3  On-Line

/adsmstg05/diskvol.05     NOTES_DPOOL  DISK         32,000.0   58.7  On-Line


There is plenty of room, 90+gb, in the disk pool. Yet it seems as though
small files are going direct to tape. If the maxsize is changed I always
thought it would take without restarting the server.

Is there something I'm missing here?
