The word I got was that the first release that had the "new & improved"
fixtool (the one that based on my tests not only works but even
reclaims orphaned buffers) is UV 10.1.2.
Note that is only the command line fixtool. The one in the GUI is a
different critter, and in my experience, should be avoided.

uV 10.0.11 on AIX 5.2.
Yes, I know that 10.1.14 would be better, please don't tell me.
is "fixtool ... -fix" considered both safe and effective?
I tested that and it seemed safe, but ineffective,
so I tried "RESIZE ... * * *" instead.
for a damaged 32bit static hashed file:
fixtool counts 80,000 more records than do FILE.STAT and uvfixfile.
fixtool also finds one error in the file.
after "RESIZE * * *" that one error is gone (or is it?)
but the record counts are still different,
and fixtool is counting 50,000 more records
than are counted by uvfixfile and by FILE.STAT,
so fixtool seem to be detecting some kind of error,
even though it says not.
which seems to indicate that "RESIZE * * *" is,
likewise, not effective at repairing this file,
or, perhaps, RESIZE worked but fixtool is wrong?
