I am not very experienced in this area Dudes & Dudettes, but are you looking in the right area? From what I've seen, from version 7.24 onwards, these physical log pages are stored in virtual memory. This memory then grows in segments of size SHMADD. In version 7.30 ontape got 'clever' and actually calculates how much SHM it will need first and then adds one segment of that size. I have seen ontape add a segment of over 250 Mb before! Is it possible that it is failing to allocate additional SHM, or that SHMTOTAL is set?
