[support] FMPro 'cleaning up unused blocks'

[Eric Johnson]

The last few times I've test-unzipped & test-used one of our ebase archives on an isolated machine, it's taken FMPro a couple of minutes to close out of names_.102 when I quit -- and while it waits, it displays a message about "cleaning up unused blocks".  On the network, we use FMPro Server 5, but I frequently test the archives to make sure the zipfiles/ebase data aren't corrupt.

 

Is the "cleaning unused blocks" message about a process of cleaning out ghost records, perhaps?  Akin to compacting a database in Access?

 

Trouble is, I don't know anything about us eliminating tons of names_.102 data in the recent past.

 

Does anyone know specifically what FMPro is doing in this instance?

 

Thanks for any info you may have to offer.

 

Regards,
