Re: Disk File Optimizer Error
Then maybe it is a good idea to do an Image backup of the disk, boot from a CD and re-initialize the disk and rebuild the disk from the image backup. It may be that your disk is just too fragmented for DFO to do anything with it.
If you cannot do that then possibly try doing a defrag file on each file listed as the Most Fragmeneted File on the defrag report. So you would start with a defrag file on [CSWS.APACHE.SPECIFIC.NEOMN2.NEOMIN.ORG.LOGS]SSL_ENGINE_LOG.;1 and then try to defrag the volume. If it doesn't work, do a defrag report and repeat the process.
Best bet would be to rebuild from an image backup though.

Re: Disk File Optimizer Error
Lisa, look at the options with defrag volume such as /consolidate to consolidate the free space into as large a piece as possible. Doing a simple defrag just defragments the files as best as possible, but can lead to terribly fragmented free space.
Also look at the docs/release notes for qualifiers to increase various quotas for defrag. I am away from my docs at the moment, but I recollect having to increase some quotas to handle very large or very fragmented disks.

Re: Disk File Optimizer Error
Should I be worried that DFO is not as robust as I have been told/sold ?
A defrag of production disks only has to go bad once!

In Production, we've been running 2.9 under vms 7.3-2 since 7-JAN (2.8 from 9-APR-05), running various levels of volume defrags every weekend without any failures (accvio or %DFG-WEF- errors) or problems detected afterwards (from using anal/disk)
We defrag ALL of our non-DB volumes.
...But then our disks are never allowed to get as fragmented as Lisa's!

Re: Disk File Optimizer Error
To change them edit : SYS$COMMON:[SYS$STARTUP]DFG$STARTUP.COM and add or uncomennt the line containing:
$ CALL DEFINE_LOGICAL DFG$PGFLQUOTA 1500000
HP-support advised me to set it to 1500000. Ofcourse the account running the DFG processes should be able to access this ammount of pagefile-quota and you should have enough memory/pagefile space on your machine.

Re: Disk File Optimizer Error
please consider looking into the script's log file for the real error message, when you receive the %DFG-W-UNRECOVERR
See the TIMA article mentioned in my previous reply. Once you see the real error message, there should be less room for 'speculation' !
OpenVMS and it's utilities are usually VERY GOOD at providing full details for errors. And DFG does not seem to be an exception to this rule. You just need to following the correct troubleshooting steps...

Re: Disk File Optimizer Error
Can you post a copy of the log file from the defrag that is failing? I know you referenced in your original post that the log file showed "%DFG-W-UNRECOVERR, unrecoverable error" but did it show anything else? Use the prodecure in the article referenced by the link in post by Volker and post that log file for us.
