Hello and happy new year! HpUx 11.11 - UniData 6.1.18 - We have a dynamic file created with KEYDATA using the default split/merge of 95/40.
Monday night, an automated purge process kicked off removing approx. 310,000 plus records from this file. On Tuesday, the process was still running and the file was consuming disk space at an alarming rate. We are mystified why the deletion of records from a dynamic file would cause it to grow. It essentially split to the point of more than doubling in size (started with 3 'dat' files and 1 'ovr' file and grew to 8 'dat's and 1 'ovr'). When we resized the file in the wee hours of the morning, we reclaimed approx. 10 gig of disk space. Does anyone know what would cause a dynamic file to grow when removing records? TIA! Shaun P.
