This is what I've done: I label the K tapes in a different volser than my J tapes. So, for instance, I've got A00001... and then I've got KA0001... I check in the KA volumes as private volumes in the storagepools where I want them. The A volumes stay scratch. There is no fundamental reason not to have all the J and K tapes equally available in the scratch category, except that you probably have a purpose in mind for the K tapes. - Allen S. Rout
