Re: New machine, Critical storage condition exists. -- MIDRANGE-L

It looks like RCLSTG has a *DIR option which I *believe* is for IFS files,
though I couldn't say for sure.

I tried to get the machine into a restricted state so I could run that
command but had trouble finding info on what "restricted state" means other
than being connected via OpsCons and ending all subsystems - is that
considered restricted state? After I deleted the IFS file, but before I was
able to successfully run RCLSTG, I noticed the disk usage steadily going
down. After about an hour it got down to 10% disk usage.

Now I am back to where I started and will see if I can get up to date on
PTF's.

Thanks all for your help,

As far as I know the IFS doesn't have a "Recycle Bin". It's a new machine

Thanks All.

It looks like it was the following file. Escapee log file. Also note the
sample data from the file. What a joke that this caused my machine to
come
to it's knees, and I haven't even specified to have anything in debug mode
to my knowledge. It just determined it should write logs till no
tomorrow!
So I deleted the file but that didn't lessen my disk usage. Is there an
additional command I need to run to reclaim the space that IFS file was
taking?
