IBM has recommend, ever since 3380K, to put everything at the front and make them large enough to never have to grow (for the ones that can extend). Then you will have contiguous free space. The VTOC off the front tends towards more fragmentation. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
