You may be getting bit with the -a option. Too bad I remember this option as
"all", because it is not the all that I expect!
>From the mminfo man page:
-a Causes queries to apply to all complete, browsable
save sets, not just those in the last 24 hours.
This option is implied by the -c, -N, -q, -m, and
-o options, described below. When combined with a
media-only report (-m or a custom report showing
only media information), -a applies to all volumes,
not just those with complete and browsable save
sets.
Also from the man page...
The -v flag prints
aborted, purged, and incomplete save sets in addition to
the complete, browsable save sets printed by default.
I have a homemade script that gets the date of the last written saveset and
prints the volume name, date and pool, pipe into sort and you have a list
which not only helps decide when to reuse tapes, but also when to send off
site.
