but were the 5 not listed ones that had continued files on them ? ? ?
(multi-volume files, files that spanned volumes, what ever...)

I've noticed with reclamation... I might be reclaiming a volume that only
has 2% valid data  on it but it mounts a tape that is 99% full and starts
pulling a 9.8 GB compressed file off of it... granted it is hard to track
how much is where with files that span volumes.

I would wonder if any type of "select" statement would do any better if
files spanned volumes.
