The volumes that expire their data should show up as EMPTY. Below is

It is unlikely that tapes will go empty on their own, due to the
persistence of Active files representing unchanging files on clients.
You should principally experience tapes returning to Scratch by virtue
of reclamation, rather than retention policies.  Note also that you
impose a time limit on expirations, which could result in a growing
backlog of expired data, depending upon your system size.
