Got it now. I defined small chuncks on the holding disks, typically 1GB, because I think that if the dumper meets a disk full, there will be less issue on a small chunk than on a big one (less data lost and dump to be restarted). So I assumed that your virtual tapes were always MUCH bigger than your holding disk chunks, so holding disk would never hit LFP. Olivier
