The algorithm used to choose which dump image to send from the holding disk to the taper. Note that the taper can only send completed dumps from the holding disk to tape. So as each dump is sent to tape, the taper must select a new dump from completed dumps, not from all the remaining dumps.
Possible values:
- first
- First in - first out. (default)
- firstfit
- The first dump image that will fit on the current tape.
- largest
- The largest dump image.
- largestfit
- The largest dump image that will fit on the current tape.
- smallest
- The smallest dump image.
- last
- Last in - first out.
