Your point about a volume being "full" no matter what % of the default
capacity was used is also salient. I have this vague recollection that
there used to be an easy way to detect tapes that had bad spots on the
media (and therefore became full prematurely) using either the old green
GUI or some other obvious method, but perhaps not.
In the past, I've just used an 'mminfo' report with the 'written' figure
for all 'full' volumes. Really short volumes stood out pretty quickly.
I might throw 'near' in there just to limit to the units that are
still in the library.
mminfo -q 'full,near' -r 'volume,written'
Now that you point it out, that's what I had done too:
~$cat ~/bin/nsr_find_short_volumes
#! /bin/sh
mminfo -q 'type=sdlt,%used=full,written<100GB' -r
'volume(32),barcode(8),written,labeled,recycled'
I haven't used that script in a while (we're using LTO3 now). It must
be what I was thinking of when I was thinking about finding volumes that
had bad media spots.
