One insights about TurboStore, which I used for the first time the past
weekend during a major disc replacement.  TurboStore appears to select
files for placement on parallel drives by file count, not file size.
During our restore, one tape ejected after about 10 minutes and the other
spun for an hour.  Both had a mixture of files, but the second tape
appears to have had the big datasets on it.
