File header space is the space where OpenVMS keeps track of all of the files on a disk (similar to inodes on Unix or, in a far-reaching example, similar to the FAT table in DOS). This file can exand as needed, but only to a certain extent. We had exceeded that extension limit. Therefore, no new files could be created on the disk. TEMP space was moved to a different disk early yesterday morning due to this problem. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
