that is a little quirk/bug...I think it might only be with raw logical
volumes, we ran into it a while back (that version sounds maybe about right)
Oh, just checked, I've still got one of these volumes and still can't get
rid of it at 3.7.2.0
yet another reason NOT to use raw logical volumes (haven't ever had this
with jfs files)
Storage Management Server for AIX-RS/6000 - Version 3, Release 7, Level 2.0
I'll work on this and if I can scratch the volume I'll pass on the info

tsm: XXXXXXXX>q vol /dev/rtdcdsm121*

Volume Name               Storage      Device      Estimated    Pct   Volume
                          Pool Name    Class Name   Capacity   Util   Status
                                                        (MB)
