Hum, we don't even bother. We have set things up so that almost all our datasets are multivolume, via the DATACLAS. And by using DVC (Dynamic Volume Count) and so on. The DASD is so fast any more that we don't think it is worth the time to do defrags on volumes. Oh, and we try to keep a fairly good amount of "head room" in the Storage Groups as well. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
