That Eric is me!
Just kidding, a long time ago someone from IBM told me Eric was the name
of the son of one of the first ADSM developers.
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon

I know that for a long time (back to ADSM v2, at least), volumes were
formatted, and _populated_ with 'Eric'.

I have often wondered who Eric was. :)

This would require that every byte of that 300G get shoved down the
SAN pipe, and get committed to disk.  Kind of the opposite of thin
allocation.

This kills the cache.

If they are dealing with that in some different way...
