Recover dead space by rewriting remaining data on a volume to 
a different volume in the same volume group. 

Dead space is space that has been previously written to by 
AMASS. A volume that contains scattered files separated by 
great expanses of dead space is a waste of media. This 
command helps you to recycle this wasted space.

This command is not valid for volumes in the space pool or in the 
cleaning group.

If you create a zero length file within an AMASS directory, ex. 
"touch filename", the file is not associated with a volume or volume 
group. This command will ignore such files. However, a zero length 
file, i.e. a non-zero length file that was written to tape and then 
truncated to zero length, will be recognized. Volcomp will not move 
the file and will exit with “These are files left after volcomp.”
