Hello,

OSB 10.3.0.3, Oracle 11.2.0.1

I deleted old backups via OEM using "delete all obsolete" and "delete all expired". All volumes in this media family (GENERIC) have "contents manages re-use" flag. A particular [example] volume visibly has no contents, as judged by:

ob> lsvol -l --library taperobot
in 16: volume GENERIC-000015, barcode CJ6049L1, oid 496

ob> lsvol -b CJ6049L1 --contents
VOID OOID Seq Volume ID Barcode Family Created Attributes
496 496 GENERIC-000015 CJ6049L1 never closes



Despite that, OSB does not re-use it, the command "reusevol" does not work either:
ob> reusevol --drive tape1 16
Error: can't overwrite volume GENERIC-000015 - volume contains non-deleted backup section(s)

I know there is --force option for "reusevol", but I would like to understand what is wrong, because using the command "reusevol" in a long run is not an option.
More generally speaking, what should I do to ensure automatic recycling of expired tapes?

Thanks a lot for your answers.
Dmitry.
