Symeon, In today's world of faster and faster processors with more and more disk space, we always use dynamic files for transactions based records and static for code files or files that have little growth. We work in both Unidata and Universe and find they both have drawback and pluses which would take pages and pages to hash out the differences.
Resizing on static files if the are used as described above ends up being a annual or semi-annual task. Dynamic files for Universe, we resize on a bimonthly basis. Unidata files are resized on a monthly basis. We rarely see a slow down in any of our client sites, since we are on top of our clients file systems. [ad] Of course, we use our own resizing tool based on the www.eclipse.org tool. It is the only new tool that resizes both Unidata and Universe files fast and effectively. This tool supports multiple accounts and multiple customers simultaneously without the need to download anything software on their machines. You can run this tool from any machine that has Eclipse installed on it. So if you like Mac's or Linux, and even Windows you can use our tool.
