Yes; one stream per collocgroup, just like you would get one stream
per node. (even if you're collocating by filespace, he grumpily
grumped)

The unfull tapes just parrot back to you the Estimated Capacity you
set on the device class.

If you're getting 200G on a LTO2, might you have set the devclass
FORMAT to be something other than DRIVE? It sure sounds like you're
writing uncompressed.
