Resizing an Individual File

To determine which files to resize, compare the Current Fill and Maximum Fill columns for each file. When the Current Fill exceeds the Maximum Fill, resize the file.

NOTE

Files in the FSI:dm cannot be resized. Attempting to resize a file in the FSI:dm results in the message:

This file cannot be resized.

Oversized files cannot be resized using the D3 File Sizer Utility.

To resize a file:

Use the commands at the bottom of the File Statistics Generated screen.

Select the file to resize in the File Statistics Generated screen, then press R.

This message displays.

Resize file ’file.name’ from A to B (y/n)?

The file.name represents the name of the file to be resized, A represents the old file size, and B represents the new file size.

Do one of the following:

- Press Y to resize the file.
- Press N to return to the File Statistics Generated screen.

This message displays (if you pressed Y).

Do you want to use a phantom process to resize this file (<y>/n)?

Do one of the following:
- Press Y to use a phantom process, then press ENTER to return to the File Statistics Generated screen and continue working while the file is resized.

Using a phantom process enables you to continue working in the D3 File Sizer Utility while the file is being resized. This message displays.

Phantom process spawned. Press <Enter>:

- Press N to resize the file without using a phantom process.

If you decide not to use a phantom process, you must wait for your file to be resized before continuing to use the D3 File Sizer Utility.

NOTE

The system displays ** until the resize is complete.
Files can only be optimized by File Sizer after a file-save because the File Sizer Utility uses the file-of-files which contains statistical information for each file on the system, and is only updated by performing a file-save or an account-save (s.

Perform a file-save using the (s option to update statistics.
