Hi all,

Thanks for the various suggestions. Research has shown that fnuxi sometimes hangs on the DATA.30 files but conversion of the directory representing the dynamic file appears to work ok. Because of the directory hierachy used by this site, some of the suggestions simply don't work but it looks like we can do it in two passses; one for the dynamic file (process all directories) and one for dictionaries and indices (process files beginning D_ or I_).

It's messy but it looks hopeful. It's a great shame that fnuxi doesn't work better and even have a recursive option. It has cost about a day and a half of work to get something that looks like it might work.

Brian's suggestion of using uvbackup and uvrestore was considered as a last resort. With the vast number of files on this system, this is likely to be painful process.

Thanks again for the help.
