How long will RCLSTG take?
We have an iSeries 810 with 175 GB of system storage, 85% used. We IPL weekly. The IPL typically takes about 15-20 minutes. We perform an entire system save monthly, which takes about 5 hours in restricted condition. We have gone *at least* 3 years without running RCLSTG. Given that info, can anyone come up with an educated guess as to how long RCLSTG *ALL will take? Will it take a relatively short (compared to an entire system save) amount of time, like 3 hours, or a ridiculously long time, like 12 hours? We operate 24/7, but could afford 6-7 hours of downtime on a late Saturday night, but definitely not 12 hours. If it will take a loooong time, is there any way to break it down into smaller chunks? If it takes longer than we expected and we need to abort, is there a safe way to do so, and if we do, will we get any benefit from the portion that we ran thus far?
On a related note, are there any pitfalls or advice to using RCLSTG that we should be aware of?

Does this mean it took 1 hour 55 minutes?
I want to run RCLSTG because, due to UPS problems, we've had a series of power losses on the iSeries. We've already rebuilt some data queues, but we've also had some CPF8199 and CPF8198 errors. We want to check the whole system for damaged and orphaned objects, and if we gain back some disk space, that'd be an added bonus.
