Hello, I have a question about the jrf -B <filename> resize option.

What is the purpose of this option?

The reason I ask is I'm used to working with Universe and something
that we do during our normal maintenance there is to do Resizes
periodically that keep the same modulo/type/separation. We've found on
files that have lots of writes and deletes to them (data turns over
frequently) benefit greatly from this. We've seen up to a 300%
improvement at times in performance from this. As far as what this
does on universe, the best I've been able to come up with is that it
somehow defragments the file on disk (but I could be wrong). Either
way the benefits are very quantifiable. Both this jbase database and
that Universe database are on a San (yes i know this is bad, don't
need a rant about it because I've given many myself :))

I'm curious if the jrf -B option would have the same benefit within
jbase. Will it actually do a rebuild of the file to disk? Or will
JBASE do nothing if it thinks nothing has changed?

Thanks for all of your responses,

Greg
