/DORMANT=(file-spec[,...])
/NODORMANT (default)
The /DORMANT qualifier indicates files to be
considered dormant when final file placement
decisions are made. Dormant files are placed on the
volume to allow placing other files in optimum disk
locations. In general, they are placed further away
from the ODS-2 data structures than frequent files
and files not classified in any manner.
If a file is indicated in both the DORMANT and
FREQUENT lists, it is considered dormant. If a file
is indicated in both the EXCLUDE and DORMANT lists,
it is excluded.
NOTE
The amount of free space on the volume, the
number of files currently being accessed, and
other factors influence file placement. Thus,
the Disk File Optimizer does not guarantee
file placement, but makes every effort to place
files as described.
The file-spec field allows wildcard characters.
You can specify wildcard characters in place of
the directory name, file name, file type, or file
version number field. The default file-spec for all
wildcard operations is DISK:[000000...]*.*;*. Thus,
specifying *.TMP;* selects all *.TMP;* files on the
entire volume.
