So new question then... I made a temp storagepool using my tape library, reclamation picked up and ran, the actlog says that one of the reclaims was successful. when I look at the volume reclaimed its utilization is down to 17%, but it is still marked as "full" so I still can't use it. Does anyone understand this?

Good luck!

Is there a way I can manually delete expired data from a volume directly? Thomas Taylor System Administrator Jos. A.
