  • Subject: DspSysSts vs. DspObjD - Where did all my disk go?
  • From: "telsci" <telsci@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

When I do a DspSysSts, it tells me that I'm at 70% of 30GB = 21GB.

But when I do DspObjD and add it up, I get 13GB.

So where's the other 8GB?

Turns out that when you CRTPF the default reuse deleted records is *NO. 
So, when a record is deleted, its space is not reused.  This is to keep the
file in arrival sequence, for those non-relationals amongst us.

Anyway, I think my 8GB might be (mostly) in deleted records!  Does anyone
know this with certainty?  And I know I'm starting to sound like an
auditor, but shouldn't DspSysSts and DspObjD agree?   

If I RGZPFM, it doesn't help.  I have to CHGPF first, to set reuse deleted
records to *YES, then RGZPFM.  The RGZPFM takes a long time and rebuilds
indecies, which is bad when users are online.

Thanks in advance for answering my above questions.
