Thanks. I rebuilt the tablespaces with larger extents sizes last night. Took some time to drop though...

lots of extents on the table, and a "drop storage" on the truncate will cause the truncate to run very long -- Oracle needs to release the extents
to the FET$ -- which means taking each extent OFF the UET$ and adding it to
FET$ -- lots of recursive SQL
