Hi Tab,

        What are the impact o fusing a FILE rather than a DISK devclass
other than faster reclamation of copypool?

Thanks for the info.

Jack,

It's been mentioned before, but if you use a disk pool for directories,
you should make the disk pool a FILE devclass.

When my directory disk pool was DISK devclass, copypool reclamation would
launch and eight hours later I would have reclaimed a few tens of MBs.

I rebuilt the directory disk pool as FILE devclass, and copy pool
reclamation proceeds at full speed from the start.

I cannot find out how to speed me up either!  Mine is slower than sin,
on reclaiming my offsite copypools especially.
