Hey, Richard - I'm confused now.
My understanding was that any files created after the recordsize was set would use that as the new maximum recordsize, but files already created would continue to use the old recordsize. Though I'm now a little hazy on what will happen when the new existing files are updated as well... hm. Cheers! Nathan.
