Some are rather gargantuan with multiple iso's etc. , so moving the 
holding disk to an otherwise unused spindle makes the best situation by 
my reasoning.  And backup times the last 2 nights have been cut 
drastically. The question then is will it work that well for 2 weeks. Or 
a month?

Same here as I'm celebrating yet another instance of makeing the guy with 
the scythe blink. Twice now. But my non-oem parts list is beginning to 
read like the 6 million dollar man. But in the middle of all that work 
in the cath-lab at Ruby in Morgantown, my drivers license expired so I 
need to go get that fixed tomorrow. A week past a new Aortic valve in my 
ticker, I feel like I ought to be good for another decade.  Great IOW.

If the sda DLE(s) are small enough to go direct to "tape",
define all holdings, but run sda DLEs with "holdingdisk no".
