AW: Oh where has my disk space gone?

an dspobjd *all/*all allows some interesting insights to your system.

I do some analysis on this fromt time to time.

We have about 165.000 objects on our system equalling about 100GB (of
175GB).  About 80GB are used by only 850 objects.
About 150 objects have more than 100MB and total about 70GB of our system.

So I know what to look out for.. On this machine, we have gone from about
30% to now 65% used space.

Always know thy enemy...
