Zoltan,

Yes, the default before 6.3.5.1 / 7.1.1 was to allow reorgs of all tables.  The new options are an attempt to get around the larger tables causing issues for shops running dedupe with a large database.  Fun fact, the maximum log size in TSM 7.1.1 is 512 GB and when I attempted an online reorg of the 'problem tables,' it exhausted the log even at that size.

Matthew,

Thanks for the link.  I assume the default before 6.3.5.1 was NOT excluding
anything from regular reorg/reindexing so I don't see why I should have a
problem, now.  I will make sure to max the actlog to 128GB to be sure I
don't run out.  I see it automagically added these DISABLEs to the
dsmserv.opt file.
