Jeff, This is just the overflow groups being added as needed. You can run guide to find a better modulo/block size, but a little data overflow is ok.

I have a static hashed file with modulo 5009 and block size of 16K. I didn't think static hashed files would change size at the OS level, but this one is. Am I just wet behind the ears or do I just misunderstand static hashing? Here's the file this afternoon: -rwxrwx--- 1 datatel staff 102105088 Apr 13 12:32 WWW.STATE and about two hours later: -rwxrwx--- 1 datatel staff 121372672 Apr 13 14:44 WWW.STATE Since I know someone might ask: File name = WWW.STATE Number of groups in file (modulo) = 5009 Static hashing, hash type = 0 Block size = 16384 File has 62 groups in level one overflow.
