VMS Help Sys Parameters, RMS_EXTEND_SIZE *Conan The Librarian |
RMS_EXTEND_SIZE specifies the number of blocks by which files
are extended as they are written. This number should be chosen to
balance the amount of extra disk space wasted at the ends of each
file against the performance improvement provided by making large
extents infrequently.
When small disk quotas are used, specify a small number such as
the disk cluster size to prevent the user's disk quota from being
consumed. If the value of 0 is used, RMS allocates large extents
and truncates the file back to its actual usage when it closes.
You can set this system parameter with the DCL command
SET RMS_DEFAULT/SYSTEM and display the parameter with SHOW RMS_
DEFAULT.
RMS_EXTEND_SIZE is a DYNAMIC parameter.
