Yes I've seen this.  I didn't have time to chase it so I just used the
     -m flag.

     Platform: AIX 4.2.1, ADSM server, v3.1.0.2

     I have created a file-system (large file-enabled) under AIX that

     judas 35# ./dsmfmt -g -db /redcross1/adsm/redcrossdbvol.01 2

     Which immediately prompts the following output:

     Actual allocation for /redcross1/adsm/redcrossdbvol.01 will be 2049 MB
     Insufficient Space Available for file
     /redcross1/adsm/redcrossdbvol.01.

     .
     .

     given. Certainly this is only a minor annoyance, given that it
     does work when using -m. But why introduce the -g flag if it
     doesn't work?

     Has anybody else seen this behavior?
