I'd like to add a third. I don't use scratch pools at all, currently, but I can't see why I'd want a new volume being added to the pool when I've got one in there that's supposed to be used. Wouldn't that mean that it would ALWAYS choose a scratch volume if there is one available and all of your tapes are full (even if one should be recycled)? In my setup, this would be the case anyway. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEOnnjmb+gadEcsb4RAqpyAJ0e4tltWeE1k+8qK1GK5kVyoxVfHgCgvzog WBbltCy3KoDUe2/rg5Qqp4g= =kzNT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
