Mmm, intersting.

Different than where I was headed, but given that I'm going to control
disk space on that volume group "manually" (with a wrapper script),
then I suppose I could do that. One less thing to deal with. And I could
declare the vtapes to be the same size as the physical tapes.

Having someone else look at things, often puts a new prespectivr
on things.

I think I will do as you sugest here.

Thanks.
