290.0. "OP:MED Allow drops on Unavailable elements." by SSDEVO::ROLLOW (Dr. File System's Home for Wayward Inodes.) Wed Feb 12 1997 22:59

	The GUI marks an element with an exception as "Unavailable"
	AND disallows it being used as a drop location.  When the
	only element exceptions were seriously broken drives or
	missing bin-packs, this might have been reasonable.  Today
	drives will use the Exception to say they need to be cleaned,
	have their leader tape rotated or just to attention...

	Using only the "needs cleaning" as example, only the Full
	bit should be used to indicate that a location isn't likely
	as a drop site.  Even then it doesn't apply to ports, where
	we don't trust the cache.

    The code that handles exception cases for drives has been changed
    to allow CCM and drops on drives with an exception.  Drives which
    happen to be Full and have an exception aren't issue.  Only the
    handling for drives has been changed.
