Just analysing our TSM install today as tapes have been getting chewed up 
quicker then normal, despite no confuration changes being made at server or 
client side. We have client-side compression turned on (hardware off) and we 
were getting about 140-180Gb of data on each tape before they being marked as 
full. Looking today though it has practically halved in capacity (or more in 
some cases) dropping anywhere from 45-90Gb of data before being labeled full.

Any ideas what might cause this? The nature of our data hasn't changed at all, 
could dirty drives cause such a drastic reduction in capacity?

TIA!

Gordon
