Re: something using up DASD

Jim

We have a product, disk/HUNTER, that can point out likely suspects. It wakes up every 15 seconds as shipped (configurable) and determines how much free space is left. If that goes down a certain amount, things get interesting - your system is polled for users whose allocated space has grown, and also what objects and jobs are consuming space when the threshold has been exceeded. You can also run a command that'll focus on the growth in IFS objects.

Let me know if this is interesting, or check our web page, www.centerfieldtechnology.com

Since we upgraded our operating system from V4R5 to V5R2.........our DASD
used keeps on climbing.  Can anyone tell me where to look for files that the
system maybe using that can be cleared?  Is there something running that we
do not need to be running that is using up disk space?  This is on an
ISeries 730, we have 154.6G of DASD and currently 92.2575 % is used up.
This machine is our development machine we only do programming mods and
changes on this machine with some users doing some testing.  This machine is
almost a mirror of our production machine for data. When we left on Friday
it was just under 90 % and I has increased from 91.0118 % this morning.  Any
help anyone can give on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
