Whats the knock on effect of not clearing your volhist anyway?
Short of getting a large text file hanging around.

The large, flat file doesn't just hang around: it is completely
rewritten at each volume transition, where the TSM server has to run
through all its volhistory entries, format, and write each entry to
the file designated by the VOLUMEHistory server option - no matter
how busy it is with other tasks.
