12.10 From 11.50 Using 40% More Space

Posted By: GREGG WALKER
Date: Tuesday, 21 July 2015, at 12:58 p.m.

Migrating from 11.50 FC6 to 12.10 FC5 AIX 7.1 and noticed after importing the database with dbimport that the storage space used on the 12.10 instance increased by more than 40 percent.
The export did not specify extent sizes (-ss option) for the tables. Any ideas why this might be? Do I need to specify a different option with dbimport? I did not see anything new with the dbimport documentation.
Here is the (before and after) onstat -d from both instances. Compare the chunk /dev/rd/d5dbs (11.50) to /dev/rd/d1210dbs (12.10). Both are 256gb raw devices and the only chunk in the ddbs space...
