You normally have RACFSMF in place, preventing SMF CONTROL from ever having a 1 in it in since both SMF disks never fill up at the same time). I mean, it's no guarantee, since there's no guarantee that RACFSMF will be successful in copying the SMF log to its own A-disk and archive. (If the copies fail, the originals aren't erased.)
