Yes. We occasionally see onsite filling volumes reclaimed. The mix of tape contents that causes this is typically something like the following: 51% of the tape occupied by files that have gone inactive and then aged out of the TSM database, 29% occupied by files still listed in the TSM database, and 20% available for writing more files.
