Just a WAG here Mike, but if the file has more shorter records, wouldn't the number of pointer blocks go up? I haven't looked at DISKSIZE in ages but would assume that it uses an average record size to estimate the number of pointer blocks, and that average is way off for this file Also, just IMHO, if its a "critical" production file, you should add a bit to the DISKSIZE estimate for a safety factor. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
