Your output to QUERY FILEPOOL DISABLE showed: > Object Type Object ID Disabled Creator Mode Link Status > GROUP 2 YES SFSBKUP SHARE LINKED > Ready; T=0.01/0.01 16:50:35 The user SFSBKUP has disabled storage group (SG) 2, not an individual filespace. I think the contents of all filespaces with space on SG 2 will appear to be locked (because the physical storage is locked). Did SFSBKUP fail? If so, you need to do some recovery actions (consult documentation). This may require manually enabling the storage group. Or you need to satisfy whatever SFSBKUP is waiting on so that it can do whatever and release the locks. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
