RE: DBA_SEGMENTS invalid? or slow?

The truncate command never releases the initial extent of the table or its associated indexes if any. In the future I have heard Oracle is going to support defining tables and indexes without allocating storage. But at present if the table/index exists it takes at least one extent.

Subject: DBA_SEGMENTS invalid? or slow?

When I query dba_segments I get:  

owner     segment_name  partition_name segment_type  tablespace_name
header_file   header_block  bytes     blocks    extents
initial_extent next_extent min_extents max_extents pct_increase freelists freelist_groups relative_fno buffer_pool

REPADMIN T_INSTRU_LDGR T_INSTRU_LDGR_200504 TABLE PARTITION TS_LDGR_M2 71 1289 2212495360 270080 211 10485760 10485760 1 2147483645 0 1 1 71 DEFAULT   Yet, when I map the tablespace, there are no extents. We have done a truncate of the partition with a drop storage, and it shows storage.  

What's up with this?  

Database is 9.2.0.6
