Structure of an Additional Dbspace Chunk

Structure of an Additional Dbspace Chunk
You can create a dbspace that comprises more than one chunk. The initial
chunkin a dbspace contains the tblspace tblspace for the dbspace. Additional
chunks do not. When an additional chunk is first created, it contains the
following structures:
Tworeserved pages (duplicates of the first two reserved pages in the
root dbspace,page 2-95)
The first chunk free-list page (page2-103)
Unused pages
Figure2-14 illustrates the structure of all additional chunks. (The structure
also applies to additional chunks in the root dbspace.)
