If the tape has been ejected from the library and reinserted this will happen. I also seem to remember this happening when a tape is empty and has a reuse period in the stg pool causing this. The tape is private because it is still in the pool and can be reused but the last use is cleared to reflect nothing on the tape.

I noticed the following when I do 'q libv' recently: Three of the tapes were marked 'Private' under STATUS, but were blank under LAST USE. Usually when a tape is scratched, the LAST USE then becomes blank. A Private tapes is associated with DATA under LAST USE. I did not know how that came about and how to fix it. Any suggestions?
