I've seen this before and had it explained before. The explanation made
sense for about ten minutes. This was one of several symptoms we were
seeing with dynamic files that caused us to bring IBM in for consultation.
Rober DunnMiller was the guy. I think he eats this stuff for breakfast.
Very helpful. I wasn't deeply involved in resolution, so I can't tell you
much.

Hello and happy new year!
HpUx 11.11 - UniData 6.1.18 - We have a dynamic file created with
KEYDATA using the default split/merge of 95/40.
Monday night, an automated purge process kicked off removing approx.
310,000 plus records from this file. On Tuesday, the
process was still running and the file was consuming disk space at an
alarming rate. We are mystified why the deletion
of records from a dynamic file would cause it to grow. It essentially
split to the point of more than doubling in size (started
with 3 'dat' files and 1 'ovr' file and grew to 8 'dat's and 1 'ovr').
When we resized the file in the wee hours of the morning, we
reclaimed approx. 10 gig of disk space. Does anyone know what would
cause a dynamic file to grow when removing records?
TIA!
