Hi.

I have just about the same setup, but with TSM 4.1.1, and in my q devclass
command i get :


Device        Device         Storage     Device        Format      Est/Max
Mount
Class         Access            Pool     Type                     Capacity
Limit
Name          Strategy         Count                                  (MB)
---------     ----------     -------     ---------     ------     --------
------
TAPE          Sequential           5     8MM           AITC       61,440.0
DRIVES

So i guess the ADSM 3.1... doesnt know the size of AITC, but its only for
calculating estimated size, it will fill untill end-of-tape in the backup
process.
