Many of these algorithms look for the oldest reusable volume\&. In most cases, this is the best volume to overwrite, as the data it contains is older than that on any other volume\&. If there are no reusable volumes, then there is no oldest reusable volume\&.

First, if there is an oldest reusable volume and if the changer supports "fast" searches, then the algorithm uses the changer to search for that volume\&. Newly labeled volumes are not considered when calculating the oldest reusable volume\&. Consequently, this taperscan algorithm prefers volumes which have been used before to newly\-labeled volumes when a fast\-searchable changer is in use\&.
