There is not an IXFP user.  You can run any from any  guest that has access
to the SIB routines and linked to the ECAM device.

Here is an EXEC I use to get a report.    You will need R/W links to your
ECAM device.

Listing how much each functional device is being used would be great,
because before I started working here, a lot of snapdisk was done, so I'd
rather get rid of real data than snapshots that aren't taking up much
space. But how do I do that ? There's no IXPF user, but I did find loads
of SIB* EXEC files on one of MAINTSTK's disks, is that something to do
with it?

Is there no Rexx script that simply issues RVA commands to colect all free
space now? or a way to remove all backend storage associated with DASD
labelled as FREE?

(Or, if there exists a Linux utility to do this, that would be even
better.)

The problem is, as with normal HD defragmenting, it's difficult to
defragment with no free space, and our usage now reads 99.402%. The RVA
documentation reccomends 75% usage...  so we'd like to force some
deletions as it's unlikely the RVA will want to defragment or tidy itself
up.

Thanks again for the help.

Ashley Chaloner.
