Hi Craig,
Actually I had a lot of really fine help from Goetz back then, as you may
have seen.
What I have found is: You may use contigvol to make yourself a small chunk
of free space - and as Goetz writes:
"You can run CONTIGVOL multiple times if the first run
does not condense the free space enough because of this
limitation."
However, in my case - you will end up very quickly with just a small lump of
free space that cannot be grown, whatever you try. Even if you try to expand
it just a few sectors, it will not succeed, due to the table limitation.
As I see it, this tablesize-limitation is acually rather grave and will (at
least in our case) prevent contigvol to be of much use.
We're currently looking into a reload/more disks/3. party solution, since we
cannot expect HP to fix such issues these days, I think.
And let's not forget that contigvol was never promised to be a
miracle-tool...
Mange hilsner / With kind regards
Hans-Ole

Yep, but I won't repeat myself :-)
