RE: IFS usage of DASD

Vern, Vern...we miss you.

I have an idea that may be more appropriate.  Bill, take your request to
comptechcall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  We offer complimentary, no-sales
folks allowed, comprehensive tech checks, up to 60-minutes, on a per request
basis.  We can then stroll through your environment and see if our team can
help.

That being said, you boys have a great weekend - my contact information is
below if you have any questions regarding the process.

You might want to look at a product from Centerfield Technology
(www.centerfieldtechnology.com) called disk/HUNTER - it runs in real-time
and watches for reduction is DASD free space. When this free space shrinks
more than a configured amount, you get reports showing you what has
changed. When I worked there (I wrote much of this utility) there was a
speed issue with walking the IFS, but other aspects of the product would
give clues to what was happening. Maybe they've fixed the IFS issue by now.
Elvis?

It tells you long before the system values for disk space are exceeded. It
takes almost no CPU even when it wakes up every 15 seconds to check the
disk space.
