I have 4 1.5 TB adv_file devices. It's split up that way because Linux 2.4 isn't terribly happy about > 2TB physical volumes, and because it affords some parallelism in cloning from adv_file to our 4 tape drives.

One volume filled up, and I was surprised to find a backup hanging on "waiting to free adv_file space..."

Is there any way to convince NetWorker (7.2.1, Linux) to continue the save onto an adv_file device in the same pool that has room, as it would do with tapes?
