Hi Richard,

It appears that there is a mixture of jfs, jfs2 and sybasedb.  The larger 
filesystems are jfs2 though.  I think I'm going to look into some of the 
suggestions made and go from there.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, is the file system JFS or JFS2?  The former employs the old 
traditional, inefficient, linear directory structure, while the latter 
employees B-tree database structure for better performance.
