Well, the time has come for our site to explore defragmenation s/w. (Actually long since come. :-) I vaguely remember some discussion long ago on this subject, but that is all. I'm aware of at least 3 products available, and there are probably more. Please send to me (and I'll summarize to the net) your experiences with whatever product you are using. I'm interested in all aspects, including reliability, ease of use, and efficiency. Reliability includes file corruption questions (is this a problem?) as well as file interlock problems (with user file access). BTW we run an 8600 and 8550 clustered with an HSC-50 and 7 RA81 disks (the latter probably going to grow this summer). Thanks for whatever you can tell me. b. -- Brent Sterner Technical Support Manager, Academic Systems Telephone (519)661-2151 x6036 Network <BRENT@uwovax.UWO.CDN> Long Computing & Communications Services and Natural Sciences Building Winding The University of Western Ontario Road London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5B7
