I'm using version 4.0, I have one library, 5 drives, and 300 slots. The file medium is coming from 2 different drives, E and F. The problem that I'm having, the F drive is out of space, but there is a available space on the E drive. Every time a jobs runs it tries to use file medium associated with the F drive. Backup software is DPM2010.

You need to limit the size of your tapes so that when all tapes on a drive are full, there's some free space still left on the drive. See How many tapes of which sizes should I use?

Just update the media layout (remove the tapes that you don't need), and delete the corresponding files from the disk.
