Ask our VMS admin and he said you can do below and should correct your
problem...
ana/disk/reapair "diskname"
one more step........
set vol/reuild "disk name"
example $ set vo/rebuild sys$aux

I believe a dismount/mount will clear it, unfortunately the db will have to be
offline.

Also a long time since I used VMS. I do remember that one issue I sometimes
faced is that the free block count on a disk device would sometimes not match
up with reality (might be the issue you face). To correct this we would use
copy/allocate command... something like...
$ copy/allocate=nnnnnn junk.dat junk2.dat
where junk.dat was a small file and "nnnnnn" was some large number to force the
command to fail. This had the side effect of resetting the free block count
for the device.

Ken.

Dont you have to kill the process accessing the file before it can be resized?
show dev/files and kill the processes that is accessing the file? Its been a
few years since I used VMS myself...

I have not touched a VMS system for 20 odd years. One of the things I did was
to shrink the size of the undo tablespace from 2770 MB to 1024 MB. When I
issue the VMS command
show device/full <device_name>
the number of free blocks is no different than before. What needs to be done
to get the space released.
