Hi Mark,
Right now i'm looking in a way to reclaim the space right away without killing the process.
Is it helping if i change the FB flavor to "superclassic", assuming this fires only 1 instance of the db, so the file will be opened only 1 time ?!
Regarding the filesize, i'll also have a look.
Regards,
Jerome

Linux you can delete a file when it is opened in shared access, however
the available space will not be reclaimed until all file handles have
been closed.
On size: look at your transaction handling (long running transactions on
a database with a lot of updates can accrue a lot of garbage and require
more disk space), blob usage etc.
