Error description

• The QUERY LOG F=D displays information about the recovery log.
  "Free Space" is displayed for
    Active Log Directory
    Archive Log Directory
    Mirror Log Directory
    Archive Failover Log Directory
  The Admin Reference contains the following description for
  "Free Space":
  "Free Space" specifies the amount of active log space that is
  not being used by uncommitted transactions, in megabytes.
  This description is appropriate for the Active Log Directory but
  the description does not apply as clearly to Archive Log
  Directory, Mirror Log Directory and Archive Failover Log
  Directory.  The field descriptions and / or documentation should
  be updated to more clearly state what the "Free Space"
  represents for Archive Log Directory, Mirror Log Directory and
  Archive Failover Log Directory.
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
    Tivoli Storage Manager server version 7.x
  Initial Impact: Low
