No suggestion, just a clarification. No DLE is a candidate to be taped, or is included in the flush-threshold-dumped calculation UNTIL it is completely dumped to the holding disk. So your 600GB DLE might dump 300% of a single tape capacity before it will tape or be included in the threshold calc. jl -- Jon H.
