Thats an interesting explanation, but it does not seem to reflect reality,
I can remember a case of a tape that had a small amount of data added to it
every day, so that by the time we got to the end of the tape it was mostly
expired, and as soon as the tape went to FULL status it got reclaimed, but
not before.

Now this was a while ago and I can't be certain what version of TSM it was
- probably 5.2, but I do remember it happening that way. I wonder if this
changed in 5.3?

Actually, volumes are eligible for reclamation regardless of siteness,
or Full/Filling state.  Technote 1202254 reinforces this.  If you set
the threshold low enough, Filling type volumes will also get
selected.  Equal treatment under the law.
