VolServ assigns additional bins according to one of two
user-specified algorithms: “wrap” or “first fill.” Using the wrap
algorithm, VolServ assigns additional bins in order until the last
bin in the archive has been assigned. VolServ then wraps to the
first physical bin, goes through the bins in order, and assigns
empty bins as they are encountered. Using the first fill
algorithm, VolServ starts looking for an av ailable bin at the f irst
physical bin location. The first empty, on-line bin encountered
is assigned.
