Hello again,

And we have found that changing a tape to "recycle" it changes to "read only" so we suppose that this is the reason for not being used, but why?

>nsrmm -y -o notreadonly LNR102

>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,capacity,written,%used,olabel,
labeled" | find /i "LNR102"
LNR102              M        160 GB  90 GB  57% 12/18/2003 12/10/2007

>nsrmm -y -o notfull LNR102

>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,capacity,written,%used,olabel,
labeled" | find /i "LNR102"
LNR102              M        160 GB  90 GB  57% 12/18/2003 12/10/2007

>nsrmm -y -o recyclable LNR102

>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,capacity,written,%used,olabel,
labeled" | find /i "LNR102"
LNR102         r    X        160 GB  90 GB full 12/18/2003 12/10/2007

Why volflags is 'r' (read-only) when changing to recyclable?

Any clues?

Thanks.
