Hi Mark,

Yes, I believe they will recycle unless set to 'manual recycle'.  To change the
flag:

nsrmm -o notreadonly <volume> [volume ...]

You can check the volume flags by:

mminfo -q 'volume=<volume_name>' -r 'volume,volflags'.

The volflags (from the mminfo manpage) are interpreted as following:

       volflags    NA           5  Volume summary flags, d and r,
                                   for dirty (in use) and read-only.
Regards,
         /\/elson
