Hi,

Customer is using TSM V4.1 server on Windows 2000, 3494-ATL, 3590B1A drives 
which should support the Extended Length cartridges and 3590 model K cartridges 
(20GB uncompressed).
"q vol" reports: Estimate Capacity is about 18GB, Status is FULL, Pct Util is 
about 95-100% and Pct. Reclaimable Space is about 0-5% (There is no tape with 
more then 18GB).
Compression is done on the Drive side.
FORMAT = DRIVE is defined on the Devclass.
I would expect that the Estimate Capacity should indicate the actual capacity 
on the tapes (after compression), regardless of what is defined on the Devclass.
Is this a real problem or only a report problem?

Any idea?
