Hi ,

I would like to know, if we can identify orphaned DataSet data files from the resource disk. Could you please let me know if there is any command to do so?

Thanks in Advance.
Aditya.

You can identify dataset descriptor by their signature and can use a magic file. See viewtopic.php?t=107450 for details.
