Yes, exactly. I cannot give any other reasons for this other then what I have said. My need is to close the tape after x hours of no writes.
You said you did not want to mix weeks, and I do not want to mix days. I guess I could make a Monday pool, and a Tuesday pool, but that seems a bit much, but that might work. Right now I just have one Daily pool and one Weekly pool. Robert LeBlanc wrote: > I've run into a similar problem that he seems to talk about.
