Hello,

  We run Networker version 6.1.2 on Solaris 8. First, backups are stored on
disk volume, then auto-staged on tape. Unfortunately, some savesets are not
removed from disk volume after staging completes. Please, anybody can
explain me such strange/buggy behaviour?

For example:

atari|root|# mminfo -q volume=Fl.27
 volume        client       date      size   level  name

# seems ok, but:
atari|root|# mminfo -mq volume=Fl.27
   volume                  written  (%) expires      read mounts capacity
   Fl.27                     73 GB  74% 08/16/03   465 GB    36    100 GB

# where is 73G? :
atari|root|# mminfo -r ssid,cloneid,savetime,name -q volume=Fl.27
 ssid         clone id  date   name
atari|root|# mminfo -r ssid,ssflags,savetime,name -q volume=Fl.27
 ssid      ssflags  date   name
[...]

[...]
atari|root|#

These savesets are only shown if I'm not asking about "cloneid"
or "copies". In such case - nothing is returned by mminfo.

I am not able to remove these savesets because of lack of cloneid. These
savesets were staged to tapes already. I want to retain these savesets on a
tape.

atari|root|# mminfo -r name,ssid,cloneid,volume,copies -q ssid=3332561410
 name     ssid          clone id volume        copies
/fw1/1    3332561410  1053341814 000744             1
atari|root|#

The only safe way to clean disk volume is to relabel it. But I don't like
such solutions.
