No, I don't think it shoots it down entirely at all.  I need to back and
check, but I think I had at least one path that would have it go recyc
(E) but not readonly (r).

My post was only one specific example.

Ahh, here it is.  If I take a volume..

$ mminfo -r 'volume,state,volflags,%used'
 volume           flags  (%)
DLT.001                 full

delete all the ssids and run nsrim..

$ for i in `mminfo -av -r 'ssid'` ; do nsrmm -d -y -S $i ; done
$ nsrim -X
DLT.001: 2986 MB used,     0 save sets, full->recyclable
$ mminfo -av -r 'volume,state,volflags,%used'
 volume           flags  (%)
DLT.001        E        full

It's recyc, but not readonly.  I haven't done any sort of matrix to
understand exactly when it is and isn't readonly.  But both types appear
to be able to occur under some circumstances...

I'll need to recheck later.  The test box was some 6.x and it went to
6.1.3 after I finished.  I don't know if that will make a difference or
not.
