- We have a vax cluster, with a VS3100/76 as the boot node,
- running VMS 5.4-2. The boot node has a 1.0 GB external disk, used for
- user files.
-
- I used this disk as a temprory storage for a large number of
- files, which have since been deleted. But I am left with a huge index
- file (about 31K blocks). The original file was about 5K blocks.
-
- How do I get the index file back to normal? What harm does it do
- if it stays as it is?
