Does anybody know in what units the 'transacion count' of a disk
device is measured (ref. output of DCL kommand "$ show device d") ?

Thanks to all of those who responded to my question.It seems indeed that the transaction count of a disk device equals the number of open files on that disk (minus the index and the quotafile). This can easily be verified using '$ show device disk_device/files'. Marc Elsen (System Manager/Software Engineer) Kathol. Univ. of Louvain Dep. E.S.A.T. Kard.

I've always found that the transaction count is quite close to the number of files that show up when you do a show dev/files eg. show dev d shows dua1 having a transaction count of 50, if you do a show dev/files on dua1 you should get 50 open files (or so). This is my observation, not from dec bruce <xrbeo@vpfvm>
