After my summary, I got useful comment about verify tool. here is a copy
in extenso :
> Just one catch here. Large advfs domains can not be verified with
> earlier versions of verify (there will be an out of memory error). The
> advise I got from DEC was to comment out the advfs file sets from
> /etc/fstab and then, once the operating system is upgraded, use the
> verify from the new OS. Im doing this right this second.
> I have also had problems with the defragment in earlier version, with a
> vdump/vrestore being a more reliable method for defragmentation. I think
> a lot of advfs stuff is getting better is the latest version of the OS.
