FWIW, I keep REUSEDELAY set to 8 on my copy pool, but set to 0 for the pool
in the library, which avoids your problem. I figure if anything disastrous
happens, it's the copy pool tapes I'll need, anyway.
That may not necessarily work for everybody; but here, COPY POOL tapes are
made daily and sent to the vault, so the pools are (almost) always in sync.

Subject: TAPEPOOL Pending Volumes
Because of capacity we are having a hard time maintaining scratch tapes in
our library. I thought of the following and would appreciate any feedback
on it's pros and cons.
Much like a copypool tape is kept offsite until it's "Delay period for
reuse" has expired I was considering checking my TAPEPOOL pending volumes
out of the library until they completed their reuse period. Currenltly our
reuse period has been temporarily set to 3 days and even with that there are
usually 10 slots in the library occupied by pending volumes. I realize that
for this to work it would need to be done daily but the alternative problems
are worse.
Any thoughts?
Jon Martin
