Happened to me once with some strange bug that made a file mysteriously fill up DASD with garbage records. When I had come in monday morning the AS/400 was down with an error code telling me I passed the threshold. I had to manually IPL to a restricted state and clean up disk space which consisted of moving lots of files to tape, copying the good records from the damaged file to a new file, deleting the damaged object and renaming the new copy to the original filename and reloading the files from tape. System went down 3 times passing the threshold before I finally got enough free space to copy the good records. So, now you want to shut down the system before it hits 100%. Time to select the IPL to manual and hit the power button. I don't know of any other way. Then do some cleanup and reIPL (you can probably just start QINTER and subsystems and such, but with all that DASD cleared up I felt much safer with a fresh IPL). Good luck, this is not a fun situation.

No one (not even the console can sign on to the system. I want to manually restart the system before dasd usage reaches 100%. Please help. Model is S10.
