>We're running ADSM v2.1.0.12 on AIX 4.1.4 with 3 3590 drives and a 3494

>If I execute 'query libvolume' there are ten entries with status=private and

>So, there are 3 3590 tapes which the library believes are private, and whose

>last entry for each of these volumes in the volume history is STGDELETE.
> Each of these entries is also more than 6 months old.

>There are also no entries referencing these volumes in 30 days of activity
>log.

>Has anybody else seen anything like this?

>I believe that I can execute 'update libvolume <lib> <volume> status=scratch
>on each of these volumes and all will be well.

>I wonder how this happened.  Anyone care to take a guess?
