DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

After issuing the ALTER TABLESPACE ... REDUCE command on the 
DMS tablespace which resides on the Veritas Filesystem (VxFS), 
the "df -k" OS command still shows disk space not release back 
to the OS. 
 
However, both the "ls -l" and "db2 list tablespace" commands 
show the DMS container size has been reduced. NOTE: the issue 
is only applicable to the Veritas filesystem (VxFS).

External Veritas setext tool can be used to release the space 
but should be done with caution, and users are advise to take 
a DB2 backup before making any changes.

First fixed in DB2 Version 9.7, Fixpack 3.
