Leave it now as it is! MPE is trying to balance this itself.
If this will take longer than expected use a defragmentation tool.
Reason: especailly database root files will be kept in one block if
possible. by purging files this will result in such assymetrics between the
disks.

P.S. Discfree 1 will proove above statement!

Subject:  [HP3000-L] Disc Space


Hello All, I have a question:

I just purged about 21 million sectors withing 2 different groups using the
store;purge option..  This was done because of some Space Problems(ie all
Member Vols at or exceeding 80%..

This worked fine, and gave me back some much needed space, but now I have
another problem: 5 of the Discs are still at 80 % while other are at 75%
and
(see below:)

My question is how can I balance out the Members so that everything is
around 75%..  (ie How do I see what files are on those members?) Do I need
to run a De-Frag(third party software)?  I am going into a Month-end, so I
want to avoid in Space Problems..

As Always any help is much appreciated..
