But the question was "tape become full in 21 percent", which I guess is real-life and I guess nobody uses an expire from one day. > If is fixed value (be it 100 or not) it will give us no information at all > and should not be displayed.

Yes yes yes, but I thought the question was "writing a tape, tape becomes full, and Util is still < 30%". I mean, I familiar with writing a bunch of tapes every full, from scratch until full, and then Util is 100%. Well, anyway, it's Monday.... Cheers, Henk ten Have.
