Mauro and James.

Oh No!  Many thanks for the info.  I certainly had the maxsize parameter set
(to 10K).

I feel dead embarassed!  On all of our storage pools we always set the
maxsize parm to nolimit.  However I forgot that the other day I was playing
around with this pool.

I'm having a bad day.
Richard.
