It sounds to me like an opportunity for Tivoli to create a white paper for us TSM admins on "Best Practices in a Disk-Only TSM Environment". Although I would really prefer that they come up with a solution for the DISK fragmentation problem so that I don't have to cludge around with FILE types. While they are at it, maybe an online database defrag utility would come in useful as well...
