Your _virtual_ tape volumes?

Well, if you're using TSM against e.g. a VTS, then the least you should be
doing is setting colocation to filespace, and setting your virtual volumes
pretty small. (10G? 2?)

If you do this, then at least you're storing things with a structure that lets
your VTS help you instead of hurt.
