VMS Help DEFRAGMENT, MODIFY, Qualifiers, /LEVEL *Conan The Librarian |
/LEVEL={n} /LEVEL=2 (default) The defragmentation process selects files for defragmentation (from among those not excluded) based on the /LEVEL qualifier. Once a file is selected as a candidate, the defragmentation process attempts to fully defragment that file (make it 100 percent contiguous). Specify the level number as an integer ranging from one to five: o /LEVEL=1 Any file that is not 100 percent contiguous, or that can be selected using levels two and three, is a candidate for defragmentation. o /LEVEL=2 (default) Any file whose extents cannot be completely mapped by the mapping window, or that can be selected using level three, is a candidate for defragmentation. The default window value is seven and can be set for a given volume using: $ SET VOLUME {device-spec}/WINDOWS=[n] o /LEVEL=3 Any file with retrieval pointers in more than one file header is a candidate for defragmentation. o /LEVEL=4 The defragmentation process for level four processing performs only free space consolidation. This level is used with the /CONSOLIDATE_FREESPACE qualifier. o /LEVEL=5 This level requests a volume analysis only; no defragmentation occurs. The statistical results are available in the log file, which is required when /LEVEL=5 is selected (see the /LOG qualifier). If level 5 is selected, the /LEVEL=2 candidate file specifications are listed in the full log file.
