Hello Ana,

Thanks for the information. When I issue the command "truncate
storage=FileStorage pool=Files" I get the message: No Volumes found to
perform truncate action.

To my understanding there should be plenty to truncate. I have "Action
on purge = truncate" on my pool definition which I believe is required
to let the truncate command work. Still something is wrong and I can't
see what it is.
