[Info-vax] Reclaim disk space for a 3PAR Storage Box

[Volker Halle]

Bruno,

on those big disks, is DELETE/ERASE the problem or the fact, that you have to delete 'thousands and thousands' of (small) file in ONE directory ? How big is the .DIR file after you've created those temporary 10 MB files ? Would it help, to DELETE/ERASE those files in reverse order, i.e. highest version number first ? This would reduce the shuffling of entries in the directory.

If this is the problem, SET FILE/ERASE *.* followed by a DFU DELETE/DIRECTORY may improve the situation.
