Jack, It's been mentioned before, but if you use a disk pool for directories, you should make the disk pool a FILE devclass.
When my directory disk pool was DISK devclass, copypool reclamation would launch and eight hours later I would have reclaimed a few tens of MBs. I rebuilt the directory disk pool as FILE devclass, and copy pool reclamation proceeds at full speed from the start.

Mine is slower than sin, on reclaiming my offsite copypools especially. -----Original Message----- From: Guillaume Gilbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 8:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reclaiminig LTO Tapes Hey there Maybe its because I'm used to using STK 9840 tapes but yesterday I saw an LTO tape at 25 % utilisation take almost 4 hours to reclaim, which to me is awful. How am I supposed to reclaim my tapes with that kind of performance?. The drives I use are IBM Ultriums in a 3584 library. With only 2 drives it makes it hard for users to do restores... Are there any options I can change to make this go a bit faster. I know the start/stop on LTO's isn't good. Thanks for the help. Guillaume Gilbert CGI Canada
