I have a sequential file pool 'DIR_BAK_E_F' used just for DIR_MC objects and it rapidly ran out of scratch volumes.
Upon inspection I noticed that the volumes were not reaching their maximum capacity, before being 100% full and a new file volume was created. I inspected the file system and the files appear to be created to the correct size of the device class, but query volume shows that these volumes are full with hardly no utilisation. I then moved the data from one of those FULL volumes and the process completes showing only around 12MB copied.
Any idea's why the volumes aren't storing the maximum amount of data as defined by the device class?
Some details below:
