> When running uvfixfile on a dynamic file (currently has about > 340,000 records) we are getting a file load discrepancy warning.
Firstly, don't panic! While a dynamic file is open, UV keeps track of the number of bytes of data stored in it. This is known as the "load" and, although it is actually stored as a byte count, it is usually expressed as a percentage of the file size. It is this figure that controls splits and merges. If a file is not closed properly because, for example, the system crashes or a user kills a process, the load value may not get written back to the file header. Next time the file is opened, the actual load is not the same as what UV thinks it is. This has two effects: 1. uvfixfile reports the "load error" message (and fixes it). 2. Splits and merges happen at the wrong point, perhaps at 79.99% instead of 80%. Neither of these is anything to worry about. What you really need to do is to find out why the header didn't get updated since there might also be other updates that never made it to the disk if, for example, users are killing processes.
