Hi,

We've got a tape inside our TSM with some write and read errors, so it's been put into read only.
I tried to do a move data, so I could delete the tape, but because of read errors it failed. It remained as read only and in filling state.

What I've done is wait some weeks, to let the data on the tape expire. Now I think it should be empty, or at least with no active data on it, but I want to be sure before deleting it.

Doing a query vol it shows 0.0 as Pct Util, but a query content shows there is still data in it. I suppose this data is no longer active, and therefore I could delete the tape with no problem, but I want to be sure none of the data is active.

How can I check for active data in this tape?
