Ahhhh....I wondered why I was drawing a blank on the "copy storagepool"
idea. I was worried I was losing too many brain cells...%-)
The tape pool in question is holding stuff from a LFS disk for a special
project, so I'm not very worried about the data. I just wanted to get my
operators off my back. "DELETE VOLUME" makes sense, don't know why I didn't
think of it.
Thanks everyone,
Martha
