Hi All,

I recently changed one stgpool from collocation=filespace to collocation=yes

To free up a lot of filling tapes I used move data. Strange thing is that
move data sometimes starts writing to another filling tape (as you would
expect) but then, _before the target tape is full_ starts writing to a fresh
scratch volume. I'd only expect move data to request a scratch volume when
the filling tape it is writing to is full. What could be happening? I know
move data reconstructs files that have been split (the first file on a tape
if any on that tape for a filling volume), so it cannot be that it has to do
with limitations on split files.
