Tony, you already got the "yes" answer but without an important (IMO) note: If the volume in question is in the library it will go back to scratch and gets reused later. If the volume *is not* in the library it is already not listed as libvol and after expiration will dismiss as stgpool volume. The result - you may lose track for that tape.
