There was some discussion recently about saving the output of your daily actlogs as text files and keeping them (ad infinitum).
If you utilise your OS textual search tools to find the message 'ANR8337' or 'ANR8468' along with the volume name, this will give you and accurate value for the number of times that the volume has been mounted/dismounted. Of course, you need to have been keeping your activity logs to start with for this to be of any use.

Volumes in manual libraries have no libvol records. Volumes ejected from automatic libraries lose their libvol records. Many sites eject copy pool volumes, and some sites even ejectsome of their primary pool volumes.
