Hi Devon,

I have seen this, I logged all the tape usage every minute and saw that it was 
using only one
drive. Nothing could change its behavior, except stopltid and startltid.

It was even wiered when only the masterserver was showing this behaviour, all 
other eight 
media servers were normal.

I wonder if it's patch 443.?
