I am VERY, VERY glad ADSM works this way! A typical scenario is a system
that reboots after a power outage and a disk either crashes or fails
an fsck.  The file system is not mounted but the scheduler runs. If ADSM
expired the whole files system a restore on a new disk would indicate
that there are no active files and no easy way to tell which of the
inactive files were  really on the system before the crash.  This scenario
was my
personal experience 10 days ago. So I am happy with this choice, which
allowed me to restore all 10,000 files w/o a hitch.
