Re: Critical disk usage amount

My experience is that you will see a "knee of the curve" effect start to
kick in at roughly 85%.  Up until that point, the effect of increasing
disk consumption is negligible.  Beyond that point, incremental
increases in disk consumption will have substantial effects on
performance.

     I am not sure of the exact numbers but you are certainly
aproaching the usage amount that will begin to cause performance to go
down the tubes.  Typically, any usage over 80% is not a good thing, so
addressing it now would be prudent.   When you hit the 90 - 95% mark you
will certainly wish that you had done something about it sooner!!

here that we need to add more disk to our AS400. We currently have
256GIG and are at 74% utilization. What common usage percentage do
people use as a threshold that, if we go beyond this percentage, there
will be issues?
We have cleared off as much as possible but people constantly want more
test information left on the box, so we continue to grow every month.
Thanks for the thoughts.
