I could not see attribute for "storage space type" please correct me if you can.

I believe we are all fine with you doing this outside production runs.

Yes but these storage types are with regard to the services we expect from the systems you guys run so at the moment the ideas are in our heads rather than formally specified as a computer query-able and job scheduling factor. If your service was in the future "permanent space type" we would address these issues in the Glue Schemer before we could expect you to provide the higher levels of service we rarely should have this in the Schemer now as how do you know that a site is tier 2 or tier 0-1 but its on the schemer groups to-do list. If no one is sure maybe I should check.

I hope I have but please feel free to pull me up in lack of clarity or that I have glossed over the issues.
