I'm fairly certain that is not actually the case. Run `llist volume=<volname>`. VolUseDuration should show 16 hours in seconds, which is 57,600. My guess is you have something else there (probably 0). Remember that volumes are created with the pool settings at the time of the volume labeling and not touched afterwards, unless you use the `update` command to "Update volumes from pool" or to manually change a volume's settings. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEtSDQmb+gadEcsb4RAtpiAJ0RgLrtbD2HgE/e77Armu/ooHL4RwCg3OSM WPLgcGByUCJ3laT4AWf5Ivw= =XLAJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
