Yes, he had. Patrik correct me if I have this wrong, but filling in the history as I believe I have it... If I'm keeping my cases straight, he had actually posted a thread some weeks ago with the initial problem, saying he had followed the conversion instructions to the letter -- conversion, delete-saved, defrag, balance, and ran into this problem with balance. The conclusion at that time was that he'd try successively larger balance -dusage=N figures, hoping to work thru it that way. That original thread could well have been shortly before you appeared on the list, however, and you may not have seen it. Either that, or you saw it but didn't connect that case with this one. Anyway, yes, assuming I haven't gotten my casefiles mixed up, and evidence so far is that I haven't, he did everything he was supposed to and still ended up with this issue. Obviously there's still a bug somewhere. And now he's back. The incrementally increasing usage= balances reaching 99%, but that last 1% is the sticking point and he, and the rest of us, are trying to figure out what happened and how to get him past it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
