Re: Disk 99% full, what to do?

You might look for some usual suspects. You might not have the space 
to do a DSPOBJD *ALL/*ALL *ALL OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) which is useful for 
determining the large items - similar to disk information.

1. If you have a command line, see if you have a lot of files 
starting with QHST*

WRKF QHST*

You can probably delete old ones - the bit after QHST is the Julian 
date plus a sequence character.

2. Then there might be journal receivers - especially related to the 
audit journal. Try

DSPOBJD *ALL/*ALL *JRNRCV

to an outfile if you can, or to the screen.

3. WRKOBJPDM QRPLOBJ and clear it out

4. IFS objects - you can execute EDTF '/' - then put a 6 on the 
directories whose size you want to know about - I suggest you do NOT 
do this with QIBM or QSYS.LIB!!

Once you get some room, you might consider getting the disk/HUNTER 
product from Centerfield Technologies (www.centerfieldtechnology.com) 
that would have warned you far ahead of this situation. I used to 
work there, so this is not a vendor response.
