Yes, I would like to use a large disk/file area to reclaim offsite
vols.

I would also like to see the availability of reclaim-stg-pool that
went from onsite/primary to FILE on disk and then to DISKPOOL
so that it can be 'migrated' with 'normal' data.

You can point a onsite/primary to a reclaimstgpool but the reclaimstgpool
when point 'back' to a diskpool (that points to the original
onsite/primary causes an error to occur during the move-back migration.
