I just took a quick look at one of the affected volumes. Of 3800 datasets on the volume, 1600 of them have 0 tracks allocated, and have 44-character dsnames. This is a great example of how to fill up a VTOC and VTOCIX before the volume runs out of space, if the VTOC and VTOCIX were sized based on assumptions about what kinds of datasets normal people would create. Maybe I should put this guy's stuff in a special storage pool with volumes that are 70% VTOC , 30% VTOCIX, and no usable space. How about telling him to go to his room without supper? Or a storage pool of write-only memory with DSN=NULLFILE substituted? It is obvious this person needs some instruction, training, disincentivization, management counseling, therapy, whatever. All software products should be attacked by pathological cases like this during test and debug, but normal operations should not be pathological.
