Question: We are trying to rationalize why ADSM shows our DLT IV tapes
as full yet they are only 30-50% utilized and
the Est Capacity is ~20GB instead of 40GB?

Here is a sample of our tapepool status:



Volume, Storage Pool,   Device Class,  Est Capacity (MB), Percent
Utilized, Volume Status, Access Mode, Scratch
