RE: Dbspace Question.
Posted in 1998
oncheck -pe will show these as empty. The little bit of space that is usedis overhead. I do not remember any details about it, but these chunks are
empty. Of course, to check this out, you could run oncheck -pe. Or, if you
run onspaces to drop them, it should work. If they really had tables in
them then onspaces would give you a message and will not let you drop them.

Try oncheck -pe. It shows filling of each chunk in dbspaces.
