We have the same issue here. Our daily backups and weekly dumps got 
slower and slower and we didn't know why. Turned out many of our HFS/ZFS 
files had grown unbelievably huge (due to temporary spikes in needed 
DASD capacity), yet were practically empty. Reallocating them was no 
trivial task. A real PITA!



It is a problem, however there are some means to relieve it.

1. Keep operational files away from ROOT and product filesystems. Such 
filesystems should be R/O or treat as R/O. Keep all R/W files in 
dedicated containers (HFSes).

2. You can use many containers for different applications, file behaviors.
3. Last but not least: DO NOT DUMP those filesystems! Do file-level 
backups. In such case it doesn't matter how many extents filesystem has. 
Only size of the content apply.
4. The system-critical HFSes like ROOT can be dumped once because they 
don't change. Or it can be dumped everytime - but it's still unchanged 
so its size is constant.

I mean some process similar to PDS compress or KSDS reorg.
Is there any need to do it?
How to measure it?

Further explanation: I'm not talking about defragmentation o f volume

AFAIK there is no way to reorganize the contents of a HFS/ZFS filing
system. The only method I know of is to allocate a new dataset, copy the
contents to the new dataset(using the pax command) and then the rename
shuffle.

For HFS, it shouldn't be needed - similar to PDSE (assuming the files within
the HFS aren't in use).   Pages from deleted files or index pages are 
can be reused after the last connection to the file has been terminated.
See similr past discussions on PDSE (especially in the LNKLST) in the
archives.

For zFS, space is reused also.  I suggest you read the zFS admin guide and
in particular the section on zFS disk space allocation that describes how
system and user areas are allocated in the aggregate. 

Do you have a reason or evidence that makes you think you need to
defrag / reorg an HFS or zFS?

I don't know, but .

The space on a PC is reused too.  In that environment, the reason is not to
make the space available, but to improve performance.  It seems likely that
after a sufficiently large number of changes, files in the HFS (or members
in the PDSE) could have their blocks scattered enough to perform poorly.

That said, I make heavy use of PDSEs and have never given a thought to
reorganizing them.

No, that's why I never tried to do it. I just read the thread and the

Yes, secondary extents won't be freed.  But the space within those extents
should be reusable once allocated.  If this happens all the time, then what
is the point of freeing it?  Allocate it larger with no secondary...

I use DFDSS. I think that FDR also works. But in either case, the copy 
must be done on the system upon which the ROOT is mounted. If it is not, 
then the copy could possibly be bad due to in-memory caching. Oh, I 
don't know how this works in a sysplex root environment. 

Depending on exactly what I want do to, I have also used the pax command 
in copy mode to copy active filesystems to either other file systems, or 
in write mode to tape (which can then be read from tape to restore the 
files previously backed up).

The plus of the latter is that I can restore specific files either back to 
their original location, or to a new location.
