Hi Jurjen!
No, that's not what I'm seeing. I have seen that TSM does not handle
allocation failures properly. I removed file volumes and directories after
creation and started a new backup. This backup runs into a rc 2 (File or
directory not found) which is correct, but the volumes are never updated to
read-only or, better yet, unavailable. Also, TSM forever keeps on trying to
create new files in the non existing path.
I have not tried pre-defined file volumes yet, hopefully TSM handles them
better, otherwise we maybe have to reconsider our design. That's definitely
not what I want :-((
Kindest regards,

Let me guess: FILE volumes only store a tiny bit of data before
(incorrectly)
encountering end-of-volume? At least, that is the problem I'm encountering.
