Re: Freeing Deleted Disk Space

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh my.  Depending on the size of the file, the system, and a few other minor 
(?) factors, the reorg could take anywhere from a few seconds to several days!  
IIRC, there's no way to safely kill a reorg once it has started.  Yes, submit 
it to batch, but to be on the safe side, don't do it 20 minutes before a "big" 
long-running process needs to use it.  Me, if this were the first time and I 
needed to get a benchmark, I'd submit it at 5pm Friday, and make sure that, if 
it ran all weekend, nothing else would get hung up by the file being allocated 
*EXCL.  Make sure you set that job to log messages and check the job log Monday 
morning.  If I had the disk space and was unsure about the time it would take 
for the reorg to complete, I'd first CRTDUPOBJ the physical and all its 
logicals to a temporary, one-time-use library, and test the reorg on that.
