I think the problem with HSM is while it may be true that I have files that I haven't accessed in a year, when I do go to access it I want it *now*. I don't want to wait an hour or three. I also do not want my file access to just hang, leaving me to wonder if I'm accessing an old file or what. I want an intelligent mechanism that says the file I want is there, but coming off tape and won't be available for a while.
