Thanks for the quick reply, I think I'll have to revisit the current 
reclamation percentages.

Bit of a design flaw though I think, it's a shame TSM can't just move the 
tiny segment on the volume I actually want to reclaim.

Thanks

Yes.  The unit of reclamation is a Physical File: In the case of small
(logical) files, that unit would represent an Aggregate, as per the
original client-server transaction size; in the case of files larger
than that, the Physical File is the whole file as lived on the client.
