Managing the AMASS File System
After the volcomp process completes, the original volume is without data so AMASS marks it Inactive in the File System Database. To reuse the volume, format it with the volformat command.
Volume number 49 has a lot of dead space.

AMASS rewrites File2 to volume number 50, which is in the same volume group as volume 49.
