With MVS PDS's they have a compress utility to reclaim wasted space. My understanding is that it moves all the files back to the top of the partition, and eliminates the small gaps between them. Does the linux EXT2 filesystem do this automatically? Is there a problem with the free inode list containing too many small blocks and preventing a write? I found a reference somewhere saying that you had to cp a partition every so often to reclaim this space. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
