Hello.  We have a large image dataset with capacity of 16.2 million records.
We just deleted 8 million plus records from the set, and have been told we
need to repack the dataset.  What are all the options we have available?
Forgive my lack of knowledge on image datasets.  We are just looking for the
quickest way to repack the dataset to get rid of the delete chains.  Not
sure if using adager to erase the set and then reload, or use suprtool, not
sure what would be the fastest approach.  This is part of a voice response
system, so down time is not something that we really have a lot of.
Probably opening another can of worms here, but I'm not sure what is best at
this point.  The specific dataset in question is part of a database that has
been moved off the VA7100 and onto a volume set that is on three mirrored
pairs of 18.2GB drives.

Thanks.

Mike Baker
