SUMMARY: AdvFS question

Hi all.

Got my answer, thanks to Steven McGuiness and this is his reply.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steven Hancock's essential book, 'Tru64 Unix File System Administration Handbook'
(ISBN 1-55558-227-3) chapter 7, especially pages 361 and 365 discusses this,
and gives various guidelines  for using -x and -p and their interaction.

>From page 361
/sbin/advfs/vbmtpg <volume> |grep bmtXtntPgs
shows the "extent count value" for a volume (you can have different values
for different volumes) in a domain

(E.g., from a 4.0F machine I have:
/sbin/advfs/vbmtpg /dev/vol/vol01 |grep bmt
bmtXtntPgs 128
)

>From page 365, he has a discussion on looking at the output for
showfile -x on the .tags/M-6 file and examining the extent output to guess at the -p value used.

A search in "books.google.com" for "vbmtpg showfile bmt" is lucky
enough to turn up exactly this page, so I won't quote it. You may need to setup a
google account (free) to view it...
